So far, no new broadcast series has gotten any additional episode orders for their first seasons. However, CBS announced today that it has picked up its Friday night police procedurals, Boston Blue (the Blue Bloods spinoff) and Sheriff Country (the Fire Country spinoff), for a second season.
“Two new shows on Friday night have become instant hits, with audiences quickly embracing BOSTON BLUE and SHERIFF COUNTRY across broadcast and streaming,” said Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment. “These early renewals reflect the power of character-driven storytelling, compelling narratives and the exceptional talent on both sides of the camera that make these series truly stand out.”
Both shows win their timeslots on Friday nights, averaging around 7 million viewers, so the decision makes sense.
