As fans of the supernatural series know, ABC cancelled the new Night Stalker after just six episodes in early November 2005. Fans of the series had little hope of ever seeing the unaired episodes — until now.

ABC recently announced that it is making the three previously unreleased episodes of Night Stalker available via for digital download via Apple’s iTunes Music Store. In keeping with the cost of many other available shows, each episode will be sold for $1.99.

The Sci Fi channel previously announced that it will air all episodes of the series in the summer of 2006.
