Sarah Connor Chronicles renewed for second season by Fox; will return with 13 episodes.
Sarah Connor has done what the Bionic Woman could not: take an existing franchise, update it, and make it watchable. NBC's Bionic Woman, a reworking of the 1970s show, rode a wave of hype and marketing to impressive first-week ratings, but couldn't maintain momentum and was ultimately decommissioned by the network.
Cameron is the most adorable killing machine on the market.
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles is a different story. The show was able to hold on to its audience--being a midseason show didn't hurt--and was the highest-rated new scripted show of the season in the 18-49 age demographic, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
To no one's surprise (well, the only surprise is how long it took), Fox today ordered a second season of the show, reports the trade. The network has asked for 13 more episodes of the show, but has not given an estimated premiere date for the second season. It will likely return once again as a midseason show in early 2009, when it can be paired up with the delayed seventh season of 24.
Sarah Connor Chronicles is set in the Terminator universe, between the second and third movies of the trilogy, and follows Sarah Connor (Lena Headey) as she protects her son John Connor (Thomas Dekker) from time-travelling cyborgs. Helping them survive is Cameron Phillips (Summer Glau), a terminator fighting for the humans.
