    • Fox Renews 'Lethal Weapon'

    Fox announced today that Lethal Weapon has been renewed for a second season. The good news comes as the buddy cop series is winding down its freshman run - one that fared quite well for a movie-adapted entry.
    Television shows based on films quite often have a tough time making the transition to the small screen, with recent attempts at adapting such theatrical hits as Rush Hour, Limitless and Minority Report ultimately failing. Lethal Weapon has bucked that trend though, with a strong showing out of the gate that has developed into a solid presence for Fox on Wednesday nights.
    Based on the movie franchise of the same name, Lethal Weapon follows iconic cop duo Riggs and Murtaugh as they team up to fight crime in the city of Los Angeles. Riggs is an ex-Navy SEAL-turned-detective who moves to California for a fresh start with the LAPD. His somewhat-reckless style of police work clashes with his new partner Murtaugh, whose technique is more reserved. Murtaugh, though, starts to take to Riggs' style as it starts to breathe new life into his daily grind.
    • The movie adaptation will return for Season 2.

    Fox Renews 'The Mick'

    Fox handed out its first freshman renewal of the season today, announcing that The Mick has been picked up for Season 2. The good news comes nine episodes into the new comedy's run and a month after the network extended its first season by four episodes.
    The Mick stars Kaitlin Olson, best known her supporting role on FXX's It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, in her first leading role on network television. In the show Olson plays Mickey, an overbearing hustler from Rhode Island who is unexpectedly given guardianship of her estranged sister's three high-maintenance children.
    The series has been a solid addition to Fox's lineup this year, where it reaches an average of 8 million viewers over its multiple delivery platforms. New episodes are currently airing on Tuesday nights at 8:30pm following New Girl. Eight episodes remain in the show's first season, including a new episode tonight.
    There is no word at this time whether Fox intends to move The Mick to its regular fall lineup for 2017-2018 or keep it as a mid-season entry.

    'Lucifer' Renewed For Season 3

    Fox announced today that Lucifer has been renewed for a third season. The comics-based drama has continued to be a reliable performer in its sophomore season, which returns from hiatus for the back-half of its run on May 1.
    The series follows Lucifer Morningstar, who has retired to Los Angeles from his duties as The Devil to indulge in a more carefree lifestyle. That is, until, he finds a new purpose in life and starts working alongside a homicide detective to solve crime and dispense justice.
    Lucifer premiered early last year as a mid-season entry, quickly exceeding expectations to become Fox's 2nd-highest rated new series of the season. Its strong showing prompted the network to shift the show to its regular fall lineup for season 2, where it then performed well enough to earn a full season of 22 episodes. Season 3 looks to continue that trend, with another order of 22 episodes for the 2017-2018 season.

    Amazon Renews 'Sneaky Pete'

    Amazon announced today that Sneaky Pete has been renewed for a second season. The good news comes just days after the drama released its full first season on the streaming service, where a strong start helped it earn today's early pickup. Word is the show had Amazon's second-most streamed opening day of any of its other original scripted series, with The Man in the High Castle holding top honors there.
    Sneaky Pete originally debuted its pilot episode back in August of 2015 to gauge audience reception, as Amazon does with many of its original series. Positive feedback resulted in a full season order a month later, but production was eventually pushed back due to the departure of co-creator and showrunner David Shore.
    The story of Sneaky Pete follows a con man who is on the run from a dangerous gangster. Recently released from jail, he assumes the identity of his prison cellmate in order to stay hidden from his past.

    'This Is Us' Renewed For Two Seasons

    NBC announced today that its fall breakout This Is Us has received an early order for two additional seasons. The double renewal, which sees it through to at least Season 3, comes on the heels of last week's strong performance that saw the critically-acclaimed drama reach series-high ratings.
    This Is Us came at the perfect time for the peacock network, which was searching for its next bona fide hit. Premiering last September, it didn't take long for the show to make its mark. Its first episode was not only the highest-rated premiere of the 2016-2017 season, but actually now ranks as NBC's most-viewed series premiere ever when factoring in its various delivery platforms.
    Showing confidence that This Is Us can be a flagship series for years to come, NBC opted to double up on the show's first renewal. A minimum of 18 episodes have been ordered for each for the upcoming seasons, which matches the current season's total.

    It was announced today that Shooter has been renewed by USA Network for a second season. The sniper drama is currently five episodes into its run, which finally premiered last month after suffering from multiple delays.
    The series had originally been slated for a mid-July premiere but was initially pushed two weeks after the tragic real-life shootings in Dallas, Texas.

    Quantico Moving To Mondays In 2017

    It was announced today that ABC will be shifting second-year series Quantico into a new time slot when it returns from hiatus in January. The sophomore FBI drama will take over Monday nights at 10:00pm, filling the hour currently occupied by the new Hayley Atwell drama Conviction, which did not receive an order for any additional episodes past its original 13.
    The network is likely hoping to improve Quantico's fortunes with the move, which will see it following hit reality series The Bachelor - a reliable performer that pulls in much stronger numbers than its current Sunday night lead-in Secrets & Lies. Quantico's ratings have been tapering off after an impressive debut in 2015 that saw it rank as the #1 broadcast series on Sunday nights among adults 18-49.

    No Back Order For Frequency

    The CW announced its winter schedule today, which includes a January 25 season finale date for Frequency. This confirms that the network has decided not to order any additional episodes for the show's first season.
    The freshman drama premiered in early October but failed to generate much interest in its 9:00pm time slot following Arrow on Wednesday nights, losing roughly half of its lead-in viewership. The show's soft ratings resulted in no back order, which likely means it will not be returning for Season 2.
    There may be a small glimmer of hope, though. As part of a new deal with Netflix, Frequency will be available on the streaming service eight days after its season finale on The CW. With the network not yet officially cancelling the show, it is speculated that another season could be in the cards if it performs well on Netflix.
