NBC has made its second scripted renewal, following Grimm, for the 2012-13 TV season, and the honor goes to the Monday-night musical drama Smash.
To date, Smash is averaging 7.7 million total viewers and a 2.6 demo rating, representing the network’s best tallies for a drama in both measures and improvements of 100 and 160 percent over the Peacock’s previous Mondays-at-10 average.
Smash‘s Season 2 order is for at least 15 episodes, says a network source. As previously reported, the 15-episode freshman run will “take Marilyn to an out-of-town tryout, her first really public presentation,” per series creator and Broadway vet Theresa Rebeck. Season 2 will ultimately follow the production to Broadway and raise the question, “How does Marilyn fare in New York?”

The cast also features Jack Davenport (“Pirates of the Caribbean” films), Raza Jaffrey (“MI-5,” “Sex and the City 2”), Brian d’Arcy James (“Shrek the Musical”) and Jaime Cepero (“Porgy & Bess”). In addition to Spielberg, the executive producers include Theresa Rebeck (“Mauritius”), David Marshall Grant (“Brothers & Sisters”), Craig Zadan and Neil Meron (“Chicago,” “Hairspray”), Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey ("United States Of Tara," "The Borgias" and Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman (“Hairspray,” “Catch Me If You Can”).

Geen verrassing

Ze moeten toch wat renewen daar bij NBC Als ze het volgend jaar in september gaan uitzenden zonder The Voice als Lead-in zie ik dit ook grandioos gaan floppen

Vincit omnia veritas!

Ik vond het een heerlijke serie, ben blij dat er nog een seizoen komt

the Evermind that knows no season and withers not

Ook ik vind het ook een leuke serie en hoop nog steeds dat hij verder vertaald gaat worden

Kan alleen geen snelheid beloven, want de komende tijd heb ik het op studiegebied wat drukker. Voordeel is wel dat Castle inmiddels afgelopen is, dus ga er maar van uit dat de subs er wel komen

En helaas lijkt Smash gecancelled te zijn... Helaas helaas, maar niet een grote verrassing...
