FX Renews JUSTIFIED for Fourth Season
FX has renewed Justified for a fourth season. Deadline reports that the hit drama, which is in the midst of it's third-season, has already received a 13-episode order. Nick Grad, FX's EVP of Original Programming said, “Justified is one of television’s best series and this season has reinforced that excellence." Timothy Olyphant stars as Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens in the Graham Yost series based on Elmore Leonard's characters.
Here is what Yost had to say about the news:
There are many reasons all of us on Justified are grateful to get a chance to do another season. We get to do more work with amazing actors, writers, producers, directors, musicians, editors and a jaw-droppingly talented crew.
Season 3 has had 7 weeks of episodes, and has averaged 4.3 million viewers, up 8% vs. season 2, and 2.1 million Adults 18-49, also up 8% from season 2. Justified brings in a weekly multi-run viewers of 7.0 million total viewers and 3.4 million Adults 18-49. There are only 6 episodes remaining in this season, with the third season finale airing April 10.
I have never gotten into the show, but am a fan of Olyphant. I think that I would like this series if I made the time to watch it. Are you excited to see a fourth season on the way?
