Alias Finally Returns to the Schedule

After several months of speculation, rumors and wishful thinking on the part of the fans, ABC has finally committed to a return date for the spy drama: April 19th. After announcing the cancellation of the popular series, ABC added salt to the wound by cutting the episode order from 22 to 17. There is a silver lining though -- many familiar faces (Michael Vartan, Lena Olin and Bradley Cooper) will return, which is sure to send Alias out in style.

Alias will return on Wednesday, April 19th at 8pm EST with a special two-hour episode and will continue to air on Wednesdays until the series finale in May. (Photo: Copyright © ABC)
