NBC's Life goes on as network picks up back nine episodes of well-traveled cop drama.



Things may not be hunky-dory at NBC, which is seeing many of its shows disappoint in the ratings department despite loads of promotion (I'm looking at you, Knight Rider!).
However, one show that hasn't had the benefit of massive marketing pushes but still performs OK is Life--and late last week that show was rewarded.
NBC has ordered a full season of Life, according to The Hollywood Reporter, meaning Damian Lewis will continue to portray one of television's most interesting characters, Charlie Crews. Life will add nine more episodes to its 13-episode order for a total of 22 in its second season.

Life follows Detective Crews after he returns to the force from a wrongful 12-year incarceration in the pen. His unorthodox police methods are magnified by his newfound practice of Zen and penchant for exotic fruit and when he's not cuffing murder suspects, he's hunting down the people who had him locked up. Also starring in Life are Donal Logue (Knights of Prosperity) and Sarah Shahi, who tones it down to just "incredibly hot" to play Crews' partner.

NBC previously gave full-season pickups to Knight Rider and Kath & Kim, as well as a full-season to Chuck before the second season even aired.

After being juggled around NBC's schedule, Life has settled into Wednesday nights at 9 p.m.
Let there be more Life! Are you as happy as we are?

Dit betekend dus dat we een vol seizoen van 22 afleveringen krijgen!
