‘Lie to Me’ picked up for full season
Amidst FOX’s midseason announcements this morning is the news that ‘Lie to Me’ has been picked up for a full season.
FOX have ordered the back-nine episodes of the Tim Roth drama, ‘Lie to Me’.
The pick-up comes just a month after the network ordered three additional scripts of the second year drama.
Under the hand of the new showrunner, Shawn Ryan, ‘Lie to Me’ has become as solid performer for FOX in the post-’House’ time slot.
This past week, ‘Lie to Me’ averaged 7.3 million viewers overall, with a 2.7 rating in adults 18-49. A 60% retention of its ‘House’ demo lead-in.
Other dramas less fortunate include Joss Whedon’s ‘Dollhouse’ — which has already been cancelled — and J.J. Abrams’ ‘Fringe’ — which will go on a 7-week hiatus in February.
