After getting off to a stronger than expected to start in the ratings, ABC’s “Galavant” took a sharper than feared fall in the face of heavy timeslot competition.<\/p>\n
It ended its eight-episode first season run in murky territory. \u00a0The numbers for its first season finale were not strong enough to make a season two renewal inevitable, but they were not weak enough that ABC had reason to completely dismiss the series.<\/p>\n
That the show had garnered passionate fan support made the latter even more difficult.<\/p>\n
Too difficult, in fact, for ABC, which officially ordered a second season of “Galavant” Thursday.<\/p>\n
On the heels of the renewal, cast members Joshua Sasse, Karen David and Timothy Omundson\u00a0shared comments on social media.<\/p>\n
“If there was a moment for a reprise, I guess this would be it,” Tweeted\u00a0Sasse alongside numerous hashtags related to the show’s renewal.<\/p>\n
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! Jumping up and down! Happy news!!!! Season 2 for #Galavant is a go!!!!!!!! Ahhh! Can’t wait to Isababble some more and get out of that pink room,” wrote David in a Facebook post<\/p>\n
