<p>
	Netflix announced today that Marvel's Jessica Jones has been renewed for a third season. The good news comes a month after the release of the superhero drama's sophomore season, which bowed in early March to more of the same critical praise it garnered in Season 1.
</p>

<p>
	The series follows the titular character, who is a troubled former superhero rebuilding her life by starting her own detective agency in New York City's Hell's Kitchen. After dealing with her tormentor in Season 1, Season 2 sees Jessica starting to once again put her life back together while dealing with a new threat.
</p>

<p>
	No premiere date has been announced for Season 3 of Jessica Jones, though fans surely hope the wait will be shorter than the two years in between the show's first two seasons.

<p>
	HBO announced today that Silicon Valley has been renewed for a sixth season. The good news comes three week's into the the long-running comedy's fifth-season.
</p>

<p>
	Created by Mike Judge, the award-winning half-hour series continues to garner critical acclaim year in and year out. Its audience numbers, though, have taken a noticeable hit in Seasons 4 and 5, having dropped roughly half of its viewers compared to its first three seasons.
</p>

<p>
	Partially inspired by Judge's experiences as a Silicon Valley engineer in the late '80s, the comedy follows the lives of a group of high tech workers in the Palo Alto area of California. While this group of social outcasts may be the most qualified to succeed in this modern environment, they are not necessarily capable of handling the success.
</p>

<p>
	Look for Season 6 of Silicon Valley in the spring of 2019.

<p>
	CBS announced today that Mom has been picked up for a sixth season. The Chuck Lorre-created comedy has been one of the network's top comedies over the course of its run, and at over 100 episodes still garners solid ratings week in and week out.
</p>

<p>
	Following the lives of a mother and daughter who are both struggling with addiction issues, the series stands apart from many other comedies on television thanks to its penchant for tackling serious topics like death and alcoholism and mixing those topics with genuine and witty humor.
</p>

<p>
	Mom's renewal today ensures that all three of Lorre's comedies remain on the CBS schedule for the 2018-2019 season. Look for a return this fall.

<p>
	The CW announced today that Riverdale has been renewed for a third season. The drama is currently in the back half of its 22-episode sophomore run, which received an increased order after the success of its 13-episode first season.
</p>

<p>
	Featuring re-imagined characters from Archie Comics, the noir-style drama follows Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Jughead in their high school years as they deal not only with issues in each of their personal lives, but also with the aftermath of multiple murders in their small town.
</p>

<p>
	Riverdale has continued to be a strong performer for the network in Season 2. Ratings have actually increased compared with its first season, while delayed and digital viewing remain strong as well. Those are all positive signs as the show winds down the current season, which continues with new episodes on April 18.

<p>
	The CW announced today that Supernatural has been renewed for a 14th season. The network's most-veteran drama continues to be a solid performer after well over a decade on the air.
</p>

<p>
	One of the longest-running prime time shows on any network, Supernatural maintains a loyal fan base that has helped keep its ratings consistent year after year. The show's impressive run will hit the 300-epiosode milestone next year if at least 13 episodes are ordered for Season 14.

<p>
	The CW announced today that DC's Legends of Tomorrow has been renewed for a fourth season. The superhero drama has continued to be a reliable and steady performer for the network on Monday nights.
</p>

<p>
	Premiering in 2016 as an ensemble series featuring characters spun-off from Arrow and The Flash, the show takes place in the same shared DC Comics universe but with a time travel twist. Its first season began as a mid-season entry, but Seasons 2 and 3 have both been a part of the network's regular fall lineup.
</p>

<p>
	The CW renewed all five of its DC superhero shows today, which means Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, and newcomer Black Lightning will also be returning for the 2018-2019 television season.

<p>
	The CW announced today that Supergirl has been renewed for a fourth season. Airing on Monday nights, the series draws fairly consistent ratings that place it in the middle of the pack compared to other shows in the network's lineup.
</p>

<p>
	The action drama has fared well since its move to the network from its original home on CBS. Being on The CW also allows it benefit from crossover episodes with other shows from the DC Comics universe, which have proven to give it a significant ratings bump.
</p>

<p>
	All five of its DC superhero series were picked up today by The CW. Fans can look forward to more Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow, and Black Lightning in the 2018-2019 television season.

<p>
	The CW announced today that <em>Arrow</em> has been renewed for a seventh season. The long-running action drama is the network's longest-running superhero-based series, with its success helping pave the way for the likes of The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow.
</p>

<p>
	Once a flagship of The CW, Arrow's ratings have tapered off over the years. But at 131 episodes, that is to be expected. And yet, it still draws fairly good numbers for the network compared to its other prime time entries.
</p>

<p>
	All told, The CW now has five series on the air from the DC Comics universe. Today's announcement included the renewals of all of those shows, which will return for the 2018-2019 season.

<p>
	The CW announced today that <em>The Flash</em> has been renewed for a fifth season. The action drama continues to be one of the network's strongest-performing series, with ratings that consistently top its fellow superhero-based entries.
</p>

<p>
	It is unknown if Season 5 will consist of the typical 23 episodes it has received in each season thus far, but even with a shorter order, the show will reach the 100-episode milestone when it returns.
</p>

<p>
	Along with <em>The Flash</em>, The CW renewed all of its other DC universe programs today. Also picked up for the 2018-2019 season are <em>Arrow</em>,<em> Supergirl</em>, <em>Legends of Tomorrow</em>, and newcomer <em>Black Lightning</em>.

<p><img src="https://dev.themidnightzone.com/uploads/monthly_2018_04/Roseanne_Logo_svg.png.81d59130c408e0a23b95907693fe9e41.png" /></p>

<p>
	ABC announced today that its revival of Roseanne has been renewed for another season, which will be the show's 11th overall. The news comes as no surprise after the comedy's well-received return to television earlier this week.
</p>

<p>
	In its first two episodes back, which aired in a one-hour block on Tuesday night, Roseanne surpassed all expectations by drawing a massive audience of 18 million viewers with an impressive 5.2 rating in the adults 18-49 demographic. Those numbers are almost unheard of nowadays, especially for broadcast comedies.
</p>

<p>
	Being that the show was one of the network's most popular sitcoms of the 1990s, it makes sense that its return with the entire original main cast would draw a lot of interest. While it is yet to be seen how much momentum from its premiere it can retain, the revival's strong start was enough to earn it at least another season.

<p>
	CBS announced today that S.W.A.T. will be returning for a second season. The early pickup comes in the midst of the drama's freshman run, which has eight episodes remaining ahead of its season finale in May.
</p>

<p>
	The series premiered late last fall with an initial 13-episode order that ended up faring well for the network. It was just a few weeks until the show was given an additional seven episodes, followed by two more in December. That brought its total count to 22 episodes - a full season's worth.
</p>

<p>
	S.W.A.T. has actually done a solid job to improve CBS' fortunes on Thursday nights at 10:00pm. The network has had trouble finding a reliable show to put in that time slot for a number of years now, so S.W.A.T.'s consistent performance no doubt ensured its return for a second season.
</p>

<p>
	Shemar Moore stars in the Los Angeles-based series, which follows a former Marine tasked with running a specialized tactical unit that acts as the city's last stop in law enforcement. Raised on the streets, he is torn between his loyalty to his roots and his allegiance to his new brothers in blue as he works to bridge the divide between his two worlds.
</p>

<p>
	Look for Season 2 to premiere as part of CBS' 2018-2019 lineup this fall.

<p>
	CBS announced today that SEAL Team has been renewed for a second season. The early pickup comes with two episodes remaining in the military drama's freshman run, which has fared well on Wednesday nights in the 9:00pm time slot.
</p>

<p>
	The series premiered as part of the network's fall lineup last September and quickly made its mark as a strong performer. It wasn't long before CBS topped up its order to 22 episodes, making it the season's first new drama to be given a full season. Continued consistent ratings over the months that followed resulted in today's decision to bring the show back for Season 2.
</p>

<p>
	SEAL Team follows an elite unit of Navy SEALs that is composed of a tight-knit group of patriots with fearless dedication. Deployed on clandestine ops around the world, its members embark on these dangerous, high-stakes missions knowing the toll it takes on themselves and their families.
</p>

<p>

<p><img src="https://dev.themidnightzone.com/uploads/monthly_2018_03/willandgrace-logo.png.9716f36b536081b5a5eadaf0ba2cbb31.png" /></p>

<p>
	NBC announced today that the Will &amp; Grace revival has received its second renewal since returning to television, for what will be the show's 11th season overall. The early pickup comes with two episodes remaining in its ninth season, ensuring the Emmy Award-winning comedy will be on the air for the foreseeable future.
</p>

<p>
	The series wasted no time in picking up where it left off after returning to TV last fall. The revival has garnered praise for capturing the essence of the original series and being able to return to form without missing a beat. The show was even nominated for a 2018 Golden Globe Award in the Best Television Series - Musical or Comedy category.
</p>

<p>
	Will &amp; Grace originally premiered in 1998 and during its eight years on the air it became a staple in the peacock network's Must See TV comedy lineup on Thursday nights. Rumors of a revival first started when the cast reunited in the fall of 2016 for an online special urging Americans to vote in the upcoming presidential election. And while that was done without any involvement from NBC, it was enough for the network to start thinking about bringing the show back.
</p>

<p>
	Today's Season 11 renewal is for 18 episodes that will premiere in the fall of the 2019-2020 season. As for Season 10, which returns this fall, its original order of 13 episodes has now been expanded to 18 as well.

<p><img src="https://dev.themidnightzone.com/uploads/monthly_2018_03/250px-The_Sinner.jpg.c8dd373e5e4b355de0a5d6f843646b1c.jpg" /></p>

<p>
	USA Network announced today that The Sinner is being brought back for a second season. Originally billed as a limited series, the Jessica Biel-starring drama turned out to be a big hit for the cable network. And as has happened before with the likes of HBO's Big Little Lies and Fox's Wayward Pines, series planned for a single run that end up being successful are often renewed thanks to their strong performance.
</p>

<p>
	The Sinner premiered last summer and immediately made its mark both critically and in the ratings. When all was said and done, the show ended up ranking as the top new cable series of 2017. There was also recognition by the Golden Globes and Critics' Choice Awards. While not taking home any hardware, the show did receive two nominations from each.
</p>

<p>
	The first season of The Sinner starred Biel as a young mother who, after being overcome by an inexplicable fit of rage, commits a shocking act of violence with apparently no reason behind it. When an investigator, played by Bill Pullman, becomes obsessed with uncovering the woman's buried motive, the two end up on a harrowing journey into the depths of her psyche and the violent secrets hidden in her past.
</p>

<p>
	Season 2 will follow Pullman's character on a new "why-dunnit" murder case. There is no word as to whether Biel's character will be a part of the new season, but if she is it will likely be in a much reduced capacity.

<p>
	It was announced today that Netflix has renewed Travelers for a third season. Show star Eric McCormack broke the news on his Twitter account, sharing word of the show's pickup with fans and also confirming that he will be directing the premiere episode.
</p>

<p>
	The series debuted in late 2016 as a co-production with Showcase in Canada, which aired the first two seasons for viewers up north. For Season 3, however, Travelers will be airing exclusively on Netflix worldwide.
</p>

<p>
	Taking place hundreds of years in the future, the show follows the last surviving humans who work to prevent a terrible future from taking place by sending their consciousness back in time to the 21st century. Known as travelers, they assume the lives of random people as they undertake high-stakes missions in order to save humanity.
</p>

<p>
	Look for Season 3 of Travelers later this year.

<p>
	ABC announced today that The Good Doctor has been renewed for a second season. Since its premiere in the fall, the medical drama has gone on to become one of the breakout freshman entries of the 2017-2018 television season. Back in October, the show was the first new drama of the fall to earn a full-season pickup thanks to its strong start.
</p>

<p>
	Airing Monday nights, the series has garnered acclaim from both critics and audiences alike. It regularly beats its 10:00pm competition, which is something that ABC has struggled with in years past with shows in that particular time slot. Viewership-wise, it ranks as the network's most-watched new series in over a decade, and star Freddie Highmore earned himself a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actor last year.
</p>

<p>
	The Good Doctor stars Highmore as Dr. Shaun Murphy, a young surgeon with autism and savant syndrome who leaves his quiet, country life behind to join the surgical unit at a renowned hospital in San Jose, California. Alone in his new surroundings and not able to form a personal connection with his peers, Dr. Murphy puts his extraordinary medical gifts to use in order to save lives and challenge his skeptical colleagues.
</p>

<p>
	Look for Season 2 of The Good Doctor this fall.

	Adapted from the Lev Grossman novel trilogy of the same name, The Magicians follows a graduate student who enrolls at a magical college only to discover that the fantasy world from popular children's books is actually based in truth and poses a danger to his world.
</p>

	Keeping with the status quo, Syfy has ordered another 13 episodes of The Magicians for Season 4, which will likely premiere in early 2019. In the meantime, new Season 3 episodes are currently airing on Wednesday nights.

<p>
	USA Network announced today that Suits has been renewed for an eighth season. The veteran drama continues to be a reliable performer for the cable network, where it remains one of its most-popular originals.
</p>

<p>
	Though while the show will be continuing, it was confirmed today that original cast members Patrick J. Adams and Meghan Markle will be departing at the end of Season 7. Confirmed to be returning are original stars Gabriel Macht, Sarah Rafferty, and Rick Hoffman, along with the newly joined Dulé Hill, who will be a regular going forward.
</p>

<p>
	Along with today's pickup, USA Network also announced a return date of March 28 for the back-half of Season 7. New episodes will air through April 25, where a 2-hour season finale is planned to send off Adams' and Markle's characters.

<p>
	Syfy announced today that Happy! has been renewed for a second season. The new dramedy premiered late last year and has garnered fairly consistent viewership over the course of its eight-episode run. The good news comes just days before the season finale, which airs this Wednesday.
</p>

<p>
	The series has been met with a warm reception from both viewers and critics, who have noted its accomplishments in translating the dark, gritty tone of the source material on which it is based.
</p>

<p>
	Adapted from the graphic novel of the same name, Happy! stars Christopher Meloni as a corrupt ex-cop who now works as a hit man who spends his days intoxicated and adrift in a world of casual murder, meaningless sex, and betrayal. After a job goes awry, his life is forever altered by a small, relentlessly upbeat, imaginary blue winged horse, who is voiced by Patton Oswalt.

<p>
	Amazon announced today that The Tick has been picked up for a second season. The comic-based action comedy is midway through its freshman run, which released its first six episodes on Prime Video in August following the 2016 showing of its pilot.
</p>

<p>
	The web giant's streaming service has ordered 10 new episodes for Season 2 of The Tick, which will kick off production later this year for a return in 2019.
</p>

<p>
	Based on the comic book character of the same name, the half-hour show takes place in a world where superheroes are nothing new. When an accountant with mental health issues begins to suspect his city is owned by a seemingly-dead global super villain, he attempts to uncover the conspiracy. Teaming up with a nearly-invulnerable superhero in a blue costume named The Tick, they work together to combat crime and uncover the mysterious figure behind the city's underworld.
</p>

<p>
	While it will be some time before the release of Season 2, fans still have six new Season 1 episodes to look forward to. Those will be released on February 23.

<p>
	AMC announced today that The Walking Dead has been renewed for a ninth season. The good news comes during the show's winter break as fans await its return to see how the death of an original character will play out after they were bitten in last month's mid-season finale.
</p>

<p>
	The post-apocalyptic zombie drama has continued rank as one of TV's top scripted series, though some plot elements in recent seasons have resulted in its audience numbers dropping off from the highs it experienced a few years back. Viewership in the current season is the lowest it has been since Season 2, though its average of over 8 million viewers per episode is still considered quite healthy.
</p>

<p>
	A change in showrunner is being made for Season 9, as longtime writer Angela Kang will take over for Scott M. Gimple, who has been at the helm of the show for the past five seasons. Gimple will still be involved with series though, as he is taking the role of Chief Content Officer, overseeing both The Walking Dead and its spin-off Fear The Walking Dead.
</p>

<p>
	Look for Season 9 of The Walking Dead this fall. For now, Season 8 is set to resume the back-half of its run on February 25.

<p>
	CBS announced today that Young Sheldon has been renewed for a second season. The early pickup, which comes ahead of the network's presentation at TCA today, is really a no-brainer considering the comedy's solid performance so far during its freshman season.
</p>

<p>
	Premiering back in September, the show's first episode made a splash by garnering an impressive 3.8 rating among adults 18-49 while netting a total of over 17 million viewers. It was just days later that CBS ordered a full season. Now 10 episodes into its run, the show's numbers continue to be solid airing after The Big Bang Theory on Thursday nights. Overall it ranks as the top new comedy of the season.
</p>

<p>
	A spin-off of The Big Bang Theory, Young Sheldon follows a 9-year-old Sheldon Cooper growing up in East Texas. At a young age, his advanced mathematical and scientific mind isn't necessarily helpful when living in a town where football and church get all the attention. Vulnerable, gifted and naive, Sheldon is embarking on his awkward journey toward the man he will become.

<p>
	Netflix announced today that Marvel's The Punisher has been renewed for a second season. The action drama is the fifth original series on the streaming service based on a character from the Marvel Cinematic Universe - sixth if you count the ensemble miniseries The Defenders.
</p>

<p>
	The good news comes less than a month after the first season's release on November 17 and keeps the trend of Marvel series renewals alive. Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist will all be returning for Season 2, while the show that started it all - Daredevil - has already been picked up for Season 3.
</p>

<p>
	The Punisher stars Jon Bernthal as former Marine Frank Castle, who was originally introduced in the second season of Daredevilas a no-nonsense hero who deals out his own brand of justice. Known throughout New York City as The Punisher, Frank is out to find the criminals responsible for the murder of his family and uncover the truth about a military conspiracy that affects more than just those he loves.
</p>

<p>
	No time frame has been announced for the return of The Punisher, but it could be a long wait if you look at its fellow Marvel series. Jessica Jones was renewed back in January 2016 and will not premiere its second season until March 2018. While Luke Cage was renewed late last year but has not yet set a release date for its return.
