— USA officially renewed “In Plain Sight” for a third season this weekend, and reporting outlet THR adds that “Law & Order: Criminal Intent” is also expected to receive an extra season from the cable network.
“Sight” received the same sixteen order pickup given to monster hit series “Burn Notice” and “Royal Pains.” If the “Law & Order: CI” renewal goes through, USA will have executed a nearly unheard-of move by giving additional orders to all original series up for renewal.
— According to THR, FOX has ordered a cast-contingent pilot from “That ’70s Show” executive producers Mark Brazill and Tom Werner.
Thematically similar to “’70s,” “The Rednecks & Romeos” is a coming-of-age comedy involving teenage characters in a Buffalo, NY suburb. The show, billed as an honest portrayal of teen life, features the Shea family at the center; it picks up after the family patriarch lost his car dealership and went bankrupt.
