It was leaked earlier by some broadcasting station and got subsequently removed as reported by zepy. But it seems it is confirmed. The eight ep of the re-airing will be an new ep. This is because the re-airing is in chronological order and the 笹の葉ラプソディ(bamboo leaf rhapsody) arc was not in the first season. Looking at the storyline in chronological order after this ep the upcoming eps will be a mix of new eps and old eps.
Sooo..... woohooo new haruhi~
