CBS Interactive announced today that Star Trek: Discovery will be returning for a second season. The good news comes after CBS All Access reported that the new entry in the storied franchise has been performing well on the platform, where it has driven subscriber growth with record sign-ups in a single day, week, and month.

It has been two years since Star Trek: Discovery was originally announced, and it has been a bumpy road from then until the show was finally able to make its much-anticipated debut last month. On top of taking the time to ensure it would live up to the expectations of a new entry in the Star Trek franchise, the big-budget production was met with multiple delays and even a showrunner change during that time.

The efforts appear to have paid off, though, as critical and audience response from the show's first six episodes has been mostly positive. The franchise's built-in fan base has also undoubtedly-helped ensure a large amount of global interest in the series.

Taking place 10 years before the events of the original Star Trekseries, Star Trek: Discovery follows a brand new crew on a new ship as they take on missions to discover new worlds and lifeforms during the Federation-Klingon war.

Three episodes remain in the first chapter of Season 1, with the remaining six episodes slated to air early next year. As for Season 2, a time frame has yet to be set, though early-to-mid 2019 appears a likely scenario for its return.

CBS announced this evening that freshman thriller Salvation has been renewed for a second season. The good news comes after a 13-episode summer run that, while only garnering so-so ratings, did draw fairly consistent viewership for the network on Wednesday nights.

The series follows the events following the discovery of an enormous asteroid that is only six months away from colliding with Earth. An MIT grad student teams up with a tech billionaire to try to save humanity from the potentially-catastrophic event.

Another 13 episodes have been ordered for Season 2 of Salvation, which will return in the summer of 2018.

History announced today that Vikings has been renewed for a sixth season. The pickup comes as no surprise, as the veteran drama remains one of the cable network's strongest originals.

In its fourth season, which concluded earlier this year, the series averaged 7.8 million viewers per episode across all delivery platforms. It also held its spot as one of ad-supported cable's Top 5 dramas, with strong viewership in key demographics.

Inspired by the epic sagas about the trading and exploring Norsemen of early medieval Scandinavia, the Irish/Canadian co-production focuses on legendary Viking chieftain Ragnar Lodbrok, who was known for raiding France and England with his longships, and eventually becoming the king of Denmark and Sweden.

Today's good news comes over 2 months in advance of the Season 5 premiere, which is scheduled for November 29. Like Season 4, Seasons 5 and 6 of Vikings will both be comprised of 20 episodes apiece.

Production on Season 6 will kick off this fall in Ireland, with a likely premiere not until late 2018 or early 2019.

Ahead of tonight's third-season finale of Killjoys, Syfy has announced that the space drama has been renewed for seasons 4 and 5. There is a caveat though, and it is that those two seasons will act as final chapters to end the series.

The Canadian-based show, which follows interplanetary bounty hunters chasing fugitives throughout a distant planetary system on the brink of a bloody class war, will have a total of 20 more episodes before it signs off for good. The advanced notice gives producers a chance to end the story on their own terms, which is always preferable to facing a sudden cancellation.

Look for Season 4 of Killjoys to premiere in 2018, with the fifth and final season on target for 2019.

In keeping tradition with last year, during today's San Diego Comic-Con panel for Wynonna Earp, it was announced that the show has been picked up for a third season. The Canadian-American production, which was adapted from Beau Smith's comic book series, follows the great granddaughter of Wyatt Earp fighting to bring demons and other paranormal beings to justice.

Look for Season 3 of Wynonna Earp in 2018.

HBO announced today that Silicon Valley has been renewed for a fifth season. The good news comes one month ahead of the veteran comedy's fourth-season finale on June 25. Created by Mike Judge, the half-hour series boasts a solid fanbase along with multiple award wins over the years.

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.

Look for Season 5 of Silicon Valley in 2018.

HBO announced today that Veep has been renewed for a seventh season. The good news comes one month ahead of the veteran comedy's sixth-season finale on June 25, which wraps its first season under new showrunner Dave Mandel.

The veteran Julia Louis-Dreyfus series continues to be a strong performer for the cable network, maintaining healthy viewership numbers and garnering critical acclaim including an Emmy Award win last year for best comedy series.

Look for Season 7 of Veep in 2018.

NBC announced today that Trial & Error has been renewed for a second season. The comedy premiered this past March, where it garnered generally positive reviews and fared reasonably well ratings-wise as a mid-season performer.

Shot in a mockumentary style, the half-hour series follows an eager New York City lawyer sent to a small Southern town for his first big case. After settling into his makeshift office behind a taxidermy shop, it soon becomes apparent that winning his first big case will not be as easy as he thought, especially when his client has a way of making himself look guilty.

The network has ordered 10 new episodes for Season 2 of Trial & Error, down slightly from the 13 it aired in Season 1. With the main court case its first season all wrapped up, a brand new case will be forthcoming in its sophomore run, which will return in the midseason of 2017-2018.

There is some good news to announce for Quantico fans this evening, as ABC has renewed the drama for a third season. The show was sitting firmly on the bubble as of late due to its ratings taking a hit during its sophomore run.

Season 3 will come with a couple of changes in the form of a new showrunner as well a lowered episode count. Creator Josh Safran will be stepping away from the series going forward, with a replacement at the helm to be named at a later date. He will reportedly still be available as a consultant.

As for the number of episodes, ABC has ordered 13 for 2017-2018, down from the 22 the show received in Seasons 1 and 2.

Quantico came onto the scene in 2015 with successful debut run and quickly became the #1 broadcast series on Sunday nights among adults 18-49. Its buzz quieted down somewhat by the end of its first season, but its numbers still warranted a sophomore pickup. Season 2 saw its viewership slip further, and a move from Sundays to Mondays did little to change its fortunes. Still, the series will be back for at least one more season with a likely premiere in the fall.

It was announced today that Fox has renewed New Girl for a seventh and final season. The Zooey Deschanel-led comedy has had a successful run for the network, first as a breakout hit in 2011 and then as a reliable utility player during its later years, where it still managed to rank as Fox's highest-rated live-action comedy.

Knowing the end was certainly happening sooner than later, showrunners smartly wrapped up Season 6 in a way that could serve as a series ender if need be. But with today's pickup for 2017-2018, the show now has eight last episodes to properly conclude the series.

It's better late than never for Elementary. It is being reported that CBS has renewed the veteran drama for a sixth season. There had been speculation the network might be ending the series after it was left out of renewal talks back in March.

While its ratings have dipped in recent years, Elementary has been an overall reliable entry in the network's Sunday night lineup. The fact that it is wholly owned by CBS likely helped secure its pickup for the 2017-2018 season, as it is said to continue to do well financially.

In a surprise reversal of decision, NBC has decided to renew Timeless for a second season. The move comes just three days after the network originally cancelled the series to the dismay of the show's fans who were left with a season-ending cliffhanger back in February.

Co-creator Eric Kripke spread the good news on Twitter this morning, writing:

"The #TimeTeam went back 3 days, and changed history. @nbc picked us up for 10 episodes. Seriously. Airs next summer. #TimelessRenewed".

He followed that up minutes later with an update:

"Correction. Info moving fast. We're airing sometime in 2018, not sure when. But we're airing! #ResuscitateTimeless"

Timeless premiered last fall as part of NBC's fall line-up with a lot of momentum behind it. Created by two veteran producers, the series was given a high profile time slot airing after The Voice on Monday nights with heavy promotion, and received high critical praise from early reviews. While its premiere episode got off to a solid start, ratings slipped in subsequent weeks leaving only a limited audience who kept tuning in.

That audience, it turns out, was quite vocal when it was announced that the show would not be returning for a second season. So much so that the series was at the top of USA Today's "Save Our Shows" poll. That reaction seems to have swayed the powers that be to change their minds, resulting in today's pickup.

AMC announced today that The Son has been renewed for a second season. The western drama premiered last month as a Saturday night entry for the cable network, where it has averaged a respectable 2.3 million viewers when factoring in delayed viewing.

AMC has ordered another 10 episodes for Season 2 of the series, matching its freshman count, for an expected return in mid-2018.

Based on the 2013 Phillipp Meyer novel of the same name, The Son is a multi-generational saga that follows the McCullough family through two concurrent time periods. The first takes place in 1849, where a young Eli McCullough is kidnapped and indoctrinated into a tribe of Comanches. The other is set 60 years later, where Eli is now the grown, charismatic patriarch of the McCullough clan. Eli applies his brutal Comanche worldviews in his dealings while struggling to maintain his family's cattle empire during the turbulent Bandit Wars of South Texas.

It is being reported that The Exorcist has been renewed by Fox for a second season. The novel-based drama premiered last September with a 10-episode run, which is shorter than the typical length of fall series. While a little soft in the ratings, the series found a consistent audience on Friday nights.

Based on the 1971 novel of the same name, The Exorcist follows two very different priests - Father Tomas Ortega, who is the new face of the Catholic Church, and Father Marcus Brennan, a modern-day Templar Knight raised by the Vatican since childhood. Caught in the middle is the Rance family, who are members of Father Tomas' parish. With a demonic presence in their house appearing to grow stronger each day, they appeal to Father Tomas for help, which sets the naïve priest on a collision course with Father Marcus.

Fox announced today that Brooklyn Nine-Nine has been renewed for a fifth season. The half-hour series, which stars Saturday Night Live alum Andy Samberg, continues to be a reliable comedy for the network, garnering steady viewership and its share of critical praise, with multiple award wins including two Golden Globes.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine follows the offbeat group of detectives and staff at the 99th precinct of the NYPD. The eclectic squad is led by Jake Peralta, a talented but immature detective whose carefree style clashes with his stern, by-the-books captain.

Look for Season 5 of Brooklyn Nine-Nine this fall.

ABC has renewed Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. for a fifth season. The veteran drama had been seen as being on the bubble for another pickup after ratings in its most-recent season really starting to dwindle. Propping up its weak overnight performance, though, is said to be its strong DVR viewership, international audience, and tie-in with other franchises within the Marvel universe.

Fox announced today that Batman prequel Gotham has been renewed for a fourth season. The DC Comics-based drama, which follows the beginnings of the infamous city and all of its villains and vigilantes, has been one of the network's top series in recent years.

The Monday night staple has continued to be a solid performer in the 8:00pm time slot, delivering an average of over 5 million viewers and a healthy rating among the key adults 18-49 demographic. Look for Season 4 to return this fall as part of Fox's 2017-2018 lineup.

The CW announced late today that The Originals will be returning for a fifth season. The veteran drama, which got its start as a spin-off of the recently-concluded The Vampire Diaries, will be returning for the 2017-2018 television season.

While never the breakout hit that its predecessor once was, The Originals has been able to draw a consistent level of viewership over the course of its run. Its move to Fridays a year ago managed to improve the network's performance for that night of the week.

The series follows Klaus from The Vampire Diaries and his clan, who are part of the original vampire family in New Orleans. One thousand years after they pledged to always remain together, family bonds are starting to break. With the passing of time, tensions have risen and tragedy has taken its toll, with the hunger for power corrupting its members.

ABC announced late today that Modern Family has been renewed for two more seasons, extending the comedy's run through at least Season 10. The good news comes on the heels of new contracts being signed with all 10 adult regulars on the show, which was key to it returning.

The veteran series has been one of the network's strongest performers over the course of its run, and while its current ratings are not quite at the level of its heyday, it remains a formidable entry in ABC's prime time lineup.

With today's renewal, at least 22 episodes have been ordered for each of Modern Family's next two seasons in 2017-2018 and 2018-2019.

NBC announced today that Chicago Fire has been renewed for a sixth season. The long-running original entry in the Chicago franchise was picked up today for the 2017-2018 season along with spin-offs Chicago Fire and Chicago Med. The franchise's most-recent entry, Chicago Justice, is still awaiting a decision on its fate.

Chicago Fire follows the courageous men and women at Firehouse 51, home to noble firefighters and paramedics who look fear in the eye and forge headfirst into dangerous situations in order to help those in need. After 113 episodes, the series still draws consistently-strong ratings for the peacock network.

NBC announced today that Chicago PD has been renewed for a fifth season. The veteran spin-off joins franchise-mates Chicago Fire and Chicago Med in being picked up for the 2017-2018 television season. Chicago Justice, the most-recent entry in the franchise, is still awaiting a decision on its fate.

The first spin-off of hit Chicago Fire, Chicago PD involves stories of the uniformed police patrol and intelligence unit that pursues the perpetrators of The Windy City's major street offenses. The series continues to be a reliable performer for the network year in and year out, and in 2018 will reach the impressive 100-episode milestone.

NBC announced today that Chicago Med has been renewed for a third season. The sophomore spin-off joins franchise-mates Chicago Fire and Chicago PD in being picked up for the 2017-2018 television season. Chicago Justice, the most-recent franchise entry, is still awaiting a decision on its fate.

Chicago Med has continued to draw solid numbers for the network after its move to Thursday nights, though ratings have dipped to new lows in the second-half of the season.

Following in the footsteps of Chicago Fire and Chicago PD, Chicago Med follows the brave team of doctors and nurses that work at a hectic hospital in the Windy City. On a daily basis they tackle unique new cases while dealing with the drama of personal relationships.

NBC has renewed midseason entry Taken for a second season. The action thriller premiered earlier this year for a 10-episode run that drew modest ratings for the network on Monday nights.

Acting as a prequel to the film franchise of the same name, Taken follows the origin story of a younger and hungrier former Green Beret Bryan Mills as he deals with a devastating personal tragedy. While he works to overcome the incident and exact his revenge, Bryan finds his way into a career as a CIA operative, a job that allows him to utilize his very particular and dangerous set of skills.

The show is going big for Season 2, with NBC ordering an increased episode count of 16 for its sophomore run. There will also be some changes up top, as original showrunner Alex Cary is departing the series. It is not clear yet who will step in to fill his role.

Hulu announced this morning that The Handmaid's Tale has been renewed for a second season. The freshman drama premiered just last week, with early reviews so far garnering much critical acclaim. Subscriber engagement has been strong too, as according to the streaming service, the show's debut episode has been watched by more viewers than any of its other series premieres to-date.

Based on the classic Margaret Atwood novel of the same name, The Handmaid's Tale takes place in a totalitarian society that was previously part of the United States. Elisabeth Moss plays Offred, one of the few remaining fertile women in the dystopia of Gilead. A handmaid in the commander's household, she is one of the caste of women who are forced into servitude in a desperate attempt to repopulate the world.

Look for Season 2 of The Handmaid's Tale in 2018.

AMC announced today that Into the Badlands has been renewed for a third season. The good news comes six episodes into the martial arts drama's sophomore run, where it is currently averaging a healthy 3.6 million viewers per episode.

The cable network is upping the episode count once again for Season 3, ordering a supersized 16 episodes for when the show returns in 2018. That numbers is up from the six and 10 episodes ordered for Seasons 1 and 2.
