<p>
	It was announced this morning that Freeform has renewed Shadowhunters for a third season. The early pickup comes midway through the fantasy drama's sophomore run, with the good news being delivered - as it was last year - via a Facebook Live Chat with the members of the cast.
</p>

<p>
	Based on Cassandra Clare's best-selling book series The Mortal Instruments, the series follows a young girl who learns that she comes from a long line of human-angel hybrids known as Shadowhunters. After her mother is kidnapped, she becomes immersed in the world of demon hunting as she begins a journey of self-discovery in a new world filled with faeries, warlocks, vampires, and werewolves.
</p>

<p>
	Shadowhunters continues to draw decent viewership in Season 2, after originally launching as the cable network's top-rated scripted original last year. The show's strong social media presence has helped it maintain a devoted core of fans who log millions of engagements across social media platforms.
</p>

<p>
	Look for Season 3 of Shadowhunters in 2018. In the meantime, the second half of Season 2 kicks off on June 5.

<p>
	The CW announced today that Riverdale has been renewed for a second season in 2017-2018. The freshman drama, which premiered as a midseason entry in January, features re-imagined characters from Archie Comics in a noir-style murder mystery.
</p>

<p>
	Executive-produced by Greg Berlanti, Riverdale follows Archie, Betty, Veronica, and Jughead in their sophomore year of high school as they deal not only with issues in each of their personal lives, but also with the aftermath of the death of one of their classmates.
</p>

<p>
	History announced today that its new original series Six has been renewed for a second season. The freshman drama, which is inspired by true events, premiered last month for an eight-episode run that will conclude on March 8.
</p>

<p>
	Through its first four weeks on the air, the series has delivered strong ratings for the cable network with an average of 2.9 million total viewers (Live+3). Its solid performance gives History another formidable original series to join the successful Vikings, which is going into its fifth season.
</p>

<p>
	Six takes place in the high stakes world of the elite Navy Special Operations unit known as SEAL Team Six. Its members are tasked with the covert mission of eliminating a Taliban leader in Afghanistan, but the mission goes awry when they discover that a U.S. citizen is working with the terrorists.
</p>

<p>
	History has ordered 10 new episodes for Season 2, up slightly from the eight airing in Season 1. Production is expected to begin this summer.

<p>
	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.
</p>

<p>
	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.
</p>

<p>
	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.

<p>
	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.
</p>

<p>
	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.
</p>

<p>
	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.
</p>

<p>
	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.

<p>
	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.
</p>

<p>
	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.
</p>

<p>
	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.
</p>

<p>
	ABC announced today that Scandal has been renewed for a seventh season. The veteran Shonda Rhimes political thriller continues to be a strong performer deep into its run, with viewership numbers in key demographics making it one of the network's top shows. Word is the core cast will all be returning for the 2017-2018 season.
</p>

<p>
	While Scandal's current season premiered later than usual due to star Kerry Washington's pregnancy, it hasn't missed a beat. The show not only premiered with its largest audience in a year, it also helped ABC win every Thursday since January in the all-important adults 18-49 demographic.
</p>

<p>
	Scandal joins other the Shondaland dramas picked up today that air as part of ABC's TGIT lineup, including Grey's Anatomy and How to Get Away with Murder.

<p>
	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.
</p>

<p>
	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.
</p>

<p>
	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.

<p>
	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.
</p>

<p>
	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.
</p>

<p>
	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.
