Fox re-ups '24,' 'Arrested'
May 17, 2005
By Nellie Andreeva and Cynthia Littleton
NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) -


After several weeks of negotiations, Fox Broadcasting Co. has sealed a deal to bring back real-time political thriller "24" for two more seasons.

The network has also given a last-minute renewal to reigning best-comedy Emmy winner "Arrested Development," which has been on the bubble since the network cut back the show's second-season order in the spring because of underwhelming ratings.

Both shows are produced by Fox's News Corp. sibling, 20th Century Fox TV, and Imagine TV, the small-screen arm of Ron Howard and Brian Grazer's Imagine Entertainment.

While there has been a lot of buzz about "Arrested Development" getting a short order for next season, Fox's decision to pick up a full-season, 22-episode order of the quirky series, comes as somewhat of a surprise.

"'Arrested Development' is one of the best comedies on television," Fox's recently appointed entertainment president Peter Liguori said. "The decision to order another season becomes easy when you consider its amazing cast, creative brilliance, critical acclaim and advertiser appeal."

In addition to its returning series, Fox, which will announce its fall schedule Thursday at City Center Theater, will present to advertisers its new shows for next season, the comedies "Kitchen Confidential" and "The War at Home" and the dramas "Reunion," "Head Cases," "Bones" and "Deviant Behavior."

That is good news. Also makes my thread about it's fate irrelevant. *sigh* Irrelevancy. Story of my life.

...but at least I have Arrested Development!

good guess - wasn't surprised though... it didn't turn out that great actually and I'm already developing another one with my boss(this time as Co-writer/Creator instead of asst.) so, seeing as his pilots at least usually get bought, if not on the air, the whole thing actually could work out even better for me - but it would have been nice to definitely have a job as Staff Writer on a show that was going.
