CBS and ABC have already set their midseason schedules for the most part, and now The CW and NBC are following suit.

Missing the devil? The CW’s Reaper will return for its second season at 9 p.m. EST on Tuesdays, starting March 17, following 90210, according to Comedy Centric.

By that time, Privileged will have completed its 18-episode season in its current spot on Tuesdays following 90210 — good news for fans worried about the show.

The CW’s new horror/reality series 13 Fear is Real, will debut Wednesday, January 7 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.

New NBC drama Kings (look for an upcoming post about the series) will debut March 19 with a two-hour event.

Premieres for additional mid-season shows — The Untitled Amy Poehler Project and The Philanthropist – will be announced at a future date.

The announcements were made Wednesday by Ben Silverman, Co-Chairman, NBC Entertainment and Universal Media Studios.

"February and March are going to be exciting months on NBC and the Super Bowl is just the beginning," said Silverman. "The biggest event on television will provide the perfect promotional platform as we launch some of the most eagerly anticipated new and returning shows on any schedule."
