I've been way busy lately, but last week news broke: There WILL be a Season 4 of our favorite show!
Kristin of E! Online reported it last week, among others. Eric Kripke thanked the fans, apparently the internet buzz and fandom made a difference in the decision. No word yet on the number of episodes that have been picked up, but with the shortened season this year, I would expect a minimum of 22.
Additionally, the Deseret Morning News, among others, is reporting that the second half of Season 3 will return April 3, not April 24, as has previously been reported. Since there will be only 4 new episodes, and May is a sweeps month, I am guessing (and so is Firefox news) that means repeats from April 3 to April 24.
Great news all the way around, and looking forward to a fifth season now, and syndication!
The report that the rest of the new eps start on the third is incorrect. The CW are finally going to start playing repeats on the 3rd; the new eps still start the 24th. They only started filming the first of the four episodes in question today, and while the cast and crew are indeed awesome, they do need to sleep occasionally. :)
