In an announcement today by ABC Primetime Entertainment President Stephen McPherson, it has been revealed that the Emmy Award-winning spy drama, "Alias," will returns for a fourth season on Wednesday, January 5th with a two-hour premiere from 9:00-11:00 p.m. (ET/PT), before settling into its regular time slot on January 12th, following "Lost" on Wednesday nights from 9:00-10:00 p.m.

Jennifer Garner reprises her Golden Globe Award-winning role as CIA agent Sydney Bristow in the non-stop thrill ride through espionage, adventure and heart-wrenching drama that will air, without repeat, through the end of the season.

Mr. McPherson says "When we made the strategic decision this fall on 'Alias,' we only hoped to be in the situation we find ourselves in today. 'Lost' provides a terrific platform for 'Alias'' new season. Not only do both shows have similar audience profiles with great appeal to television's most coveted young adult viewers, but they also share J.J.'s unique sensibility. This is a great two-hour block of programming."

Thanks to 'Ant'.
