Fans of the FOX breakout hit, Glee, will be happy to know the show has just been picked up for a full season, and the network will add nine episodes to the original 13 the cast has already shot.
According to Usmagazine.com, executive producer Ryan Murphy said, "It's fantastic to be the first show picked up and that this underdog series, like its characters, will get the chance to keep singing." He added, "There are so many more stories to tell. We're grateful for the incredible passion shown by everyone involved — the unbelievable fans, the cast, crew, our partners at the network and studio and even music artists and labels."
The show's pilot aired as a teaser last summer and pulled in 10.7 million viewers following the season 8 performance show of American Idol. The season premiere this month was the highest-rated scripted fall premiere FOX has had in three years.
