Burn Notice and Saving Grace Get Renewed

Photo from Burn NoticeTwo new cable series have already been renewed for a second season: Burn Notice and Saving Grace.
"Burn," starring Jeffrey Donovan, has been given a 13-episode order, while "Grace," toplined by Holly Hunter, has been picked up for 15 episodes. Both shows hail from Fox TV Studios. Following a solid premiere with 4 million total viewers (2.2 million in adults 25-52), "Burn" has showed growth, delivering its largest audience to date -- 4.4 million viewers (2.3 million in 25-54) -- last Thursday. The series, which stars Donovan as a spy who suddenly finds himself blacklisted, is executive produced by creator Matt Nix and Mikkel Bondesen.

In its debut, "Grace" drew 6.4 million total viewers, making it the most-watched basic cable series premiere of the year. The drama, which stars Hunter as an Oklahoma City police detective who gets helps from an unconventional angel (Leon Rippy), held on to 86% of its lead-in, hit TNT series "The Closer." To date, "Grace" has averaged 5.5 million.
We haven't yet tuned into to Saving Grace and losing one million viewers is not a good sign. Still, Holly Hunter is a great actress and clearly there is a market for the genre. Burn Notice is a great show; they need to up the budget so Michael can travel outside of Miami in future episodes. Keep the spy intrigue coming!
