Yay! The strike is coming to an end. It’s about time. Here are some updates on our favorite shows.

Heroes:

What We’re Hearing: Though an official decision has not yet been made, the most likely scenario is that Heroes will not return to our small screens until this fall. We’ve heard from a few crew members that they’ve been told they are not likely to return to set this season. Word is, the writers want a bit of breathing room to get the storyline up and running. Stay tuned on this one…

Grey’s Anatomy:

What We’re Hearing: Grey’s will go back into production this season and is expected to produce a handful of new episodes to air in April and May. And yes, Josh Jackson is expected to finally fulfill his guest-spot duties as Cristina’s love interest. So, yes, there is a god.

Supernatural:

Executive Producer Erik Kripke Says: “I would say we can probably get three, maybe four episodes in the can. I think three is the safe number to say probably. So, I hope so…I just hope. Obviously we all love the show and want to get back to work!”

What We’re Hearing: No firm decisions yet, but Supernatural is likely to resume production this season since it is one of the CW’s highest-rated series.

Pushing Daisies:

Executive Producer Bryan Fuller Says: “We’re all thrilled the strike is coming to a close and we can drop the politics and get back to the creativity. Many of the shows are getting ‘return to work’ letters this week from their studios, but we won’t be one of them. Previously, Warner Brothers said they wanted us to start writing the moment the WGA allowed us to go back to work so we could get a jump start and begin stockpiling scripts for season two. But I got the call on Friday that they didn’t want us to go back to work until March, regardless of the strike outcome.”That’s not to say there won’t be some informal meetings with the writing staff beforehand to discuss arcs for season two, but we’re essentially on hold until March (at least in an official capacity). The first order of business will be to sit down with ABC to discuss their thoughts on the nine completed episodes from what I like to call our ‘teaser season’—what they liked and what they didn’t—and then we’ll set about crafting season two and continuing the adventures of the Pie Maker and friends.”

What We’re Hearing: Hear that? It’s the sound of die-hard fans around the nation chanting “We want Daisies! We miss Chuck and Ned!” So, it seems we’ll get a lesson in patience while we wait for more eps of this show that is made of all kinds of awesome.

Bones:

What We’re Hearing: One Bones castmember tells us the strike was “very emotional and surreal” and that while they don’t yet know how many more episodes they might produce this season, things look good for a return to the set. Another castmember tells us: “I would assume that production would start back in two weeks or so.” However, sources tell us there is no decision yet on whether Bones will go back into production this season.

Chuck and Gossip Girl:

Executive Producer Josh Schwartz: “If the strike is over, then on behalf of Chuck and Gossip Girl we are all thrilled to get back to work. Both shows will be back for more episodes—when, I can’t quite say, though Gossip Girl will most likely be on as soon as possible. Chuck may not be back until fall to relaunch with Heroes, or it may be back sooner, but both will be back!”What We’re Hearing: Umm…Ditto what Schwartz says. Expect lots more Gossip Girl this season (the CW is crazy for this show and has requested an additional nine episodes to air this season), while Chuck is likely to return in the fall for its second season.
