Update (Spoiler Warning)

Confirmed- Alias will return, but not for a full 22 episodes. According to Kristin at EOnline, Alias is set to return this spring (date still unknown) but ABC has cut the 22 episode season to 17. 9 have already aired, so that leaves us with 8, count them, 8 episodes of Alias. The returning episode 5.10 "S.O.S." is scheduled to be a 2 hour episode.

Sad pandas my little Alias fans, but we still get Vaughn, Will and Irina!!

By calling 5.10 a 2hr episode, does that mean there's 18? (i.e. 9 hours left)

If we go by what we've been hearing all along, then 5.10 and 5.11 are the 2hrs and we'd have 5.12-5.17 for the rest of the season.

Also, did Kristin get a date for the return???

I think, yes, that 5.10 is 2 hours, seperate from 5.11. So yes, 9 hours. No word on the date or if the final episode is 2 hours or not.

thanks for the update GS. Sad pandas yes, but at least we're getting some Alias. Any word on whether there will be a full 22 eppies on the DVD?

The least they could do for us it make them all 2 hour episodes.

ABC totally killed this show. I don't think I can ever forgive them. Alias was going good and strong until they started fiddling with it and changing show times and firing people. This totally blows! Thanks for the update:)

Of course this is ABC's fault. They are renoun for killing brilliant shows. Anyone remember "Sports Night" created by Alan Sorkin? If not, it is because ABC killed it in 2000. It was one of the best TV sitcoms ever, if not THE best, but they barely let it finish its second season. in reality, we are just lucky to get 5 seasons of ALIAS...

...but, oh, hey, lets keep reinventing insipid detective/ cop shows like no one will notice.

Umm, according to Kristin from E!Online, Alias isn't coming back until April 19th!!!

"I heard last night from a reliable source (and confirmed with another this a.m.) that ...

ALIAS IS COMING BACK IN APRIL FOR 8 FINAL HOURS ON WEDNESDAY NIGHTS AT 8 PM!

April 19th is the day of the midseason premiere, I believe.

I'm told that there will be a two-hour midseason premiere, then four episodes, then a 2-hour finale in May.

Yippee Kai Yay!

All this is expected to be announced on Monday."

While I am obviously excited that the show is coming back, I am still getting over the upset of the short season and then ABC makes us wait another month and a half....


I have never disliked a TV station in my entire life before this season....

The way that Kristin from Eonline explained it, there will be 8 more HOURS of Alias, not 8 more episodes. Just another example of ABC screwing Alias over, first they say 8 episodes now its 8 hours....
