Law & Order: SVU: Renewed
Though there were some pesky reports of a possible cancellation, Mariska Hargitay & Co. are officially coming back for Season 16. "It's official. Thank you #SVUDiehards, cast and crew, Dick Wolf, @Mariska, Bob Greenblatt and @nbc. #SVUSweetSixteen!!," showrunner Warren Leight tweeted.
Mad Men: Renewed for a Final Season
AMC has renewed the hit period drama for an impressive seventh, and final season. However like Breaking Bad, the network has decided to dole out Don Draper's final episodes in two, extremely stretched-out parts. The first seven episodes will debut this April, while the last seven won't premiere until 2015.
Masters of Sex: Renewed
Sex researchers Masters and Johnson will be back in 2014 with 12 brand new episodes on Showtime. In October, the premium cable network announced that Masters of Sex had been picked up for a second season due to its strong weekly audience (an average of 5.4 million viewers). Network President David Nevins said in a statement, "The critical and audience reaction to Masters of Sex since its great launch has been incredibly gratifying."
The Mentalist: Renewed
Simon Baker's longrunning drama averages 13 million viewers and recently underwent a creative rejuvenation as the series wrapped up the Red John mystery. And though there was speculation that Warner Bros. TV was talking to other networks about picking up the drama should CBS have canceled it, the network renewed The Mentalist for a seventh season.
The Millers: Renewed
The number one freshman comedy of the season, CBS picked up Will Arnett's family sitcom, surprising no one, especially lovers of fart jokes.
The Michael J. Fox Show: Canceled
After ordering Michael J. Fox's return to TV for 22 episodes, bypassing the standard pilot process, NBC was "unhappy" with the sitcom's performance and recently pulled it from theThursday night schedule.
Mike & Molly: Renewed
It's no surprise that CBS picked up Mike & Molly for another season; would you let Melissa McCarthy go either? Plus, Chuck Lorre recently had all four of his CBS sitcoms, including Mike & Molly, rank in the Top 20 primetime programs in adults 18-49, along with Big Bang, Two and a Half Men and Mom.
The Mindy Project: Renewed
Priase Beyonce Pad Thai, Fox renewed one of our favorite sitcoms for a third season, meaning many more rom-com-gone-wrong moments for Mindy Kaling. "Love you, Kevin Reilly. #themindyproject #season3," Kaling tweeted after the pickup was announced.
Mom: Renewed
All hail the power of Chuck Lorre! Though its his weakest-performing sitcom, CBS still picked up the series, which stars Anna Farris and Allison Janney, for a second outing.
Mistresses: Renewed
ABC renewed Alyssa Milano's sudser for a second season, which will premiere this summer.
Modern Family: Renewed
Duh. Each year the comedy's numbers continue to grow and so far this season Modern Family is already the No. 2 scripted series among Adults 18-49 on the broadcast networks and the No. 1 scripted series on Wednesday nights.
Nashville: Renewed
The country drama has maintained steady ratings for its second season on ABC with about 5 million viewers per week and is one of the network's strongest performers when it comes to DVR playback, leading to its season three pick up. And ABC showed just how much it loved the Connie Britton-fronted drama by giving it a 22-episode order.
The Neighbors: Canceled
Wait, you forgot this was even still on? Us too, but ABC boss Paul Lee is a fan of the alien family comedy. The sitcom recently matched its series-best rating in the adults 18-49 demo in its Friday timeslot, but that wasn't quite enough for ABC to keep it around.
NCIS: Renewed
It's the highest-rated show on television. Obviously, CBS picked it up for a 12th season. Duh.
NCIS: LA: Renewed
While not as successful in the ratings as its mothershow (nothing is though, when you think about it), the Los Angeles-based spinoff is doing just fine for CBS, who picked it up for another season.
New Girl: Renewed
After scoring 25.8 million viewers in the coveted post-Super Bowl timeslot, it wasn't too surprising that Fox renewed Zooey Deschanel, Jake Johnson and Co.'s adorkable sitcom for a third season. Holy Schmidt!
The Newsroom: Renewed for a Final Season
HBO announced in January that The Newsroom will return for a third and final season. "The Newsroom is classic Aaron Sorkin—smart, riveting and thought-provoking," Michael Lombardo, president of programming at HBO, said in a statement. "I'm sure this farewell season will be one to remember." Production on the final season of The Newsroom is set to begin spring 2014 with a fall 2014 premiere date being eyed.
Once Upon a Time: Renewed
Given that it was confirmed that Michael Socha, one of the failed spinoff's star, would be joining OUAT as a series regular after Wonderland's cancellation, ABC kind of spoiled the season four pickup news early.
Once Upon a Time in Wonderland: Canceled
The OUAT spinoff has been a ratings dud for ABC, who will most likely pretend it was always intended to be a miniseries rather than outright cancel it.
Orange Is the New Black: Renewed
Netflix gave Orange is the new Black an early season two renewal before the show even premiered! The second season is currently filming in New York. No word on whether there will be a third season.

The Vampire Diaries' highly successful spinoff starring Joseph Morgan, Daniel Gillies and Phoebe Tonkin will return for a second season after teaming up with Supernatural to give the CW one of its most successful lineups in years on Tuesday nights.
"ATTENTION SEASON 2 CONFIRMED 4 #TheOriginals," star Joseph Morgan tweteed. "THX 2 ALL FANG FANS 4 KEEPING US EMPLOYED. BLOODY MAYHEM COMING YR WAY."
Orphan Black: Renewed
BBC America's breakout hit, which stars Tatiana Maslany in no less than seven roles, returns for its second season on April 19, kicking off a 10-episode, clone-filled run.
Parenthood: Renewed for a Final Season
Break out the tissues! Jason Katims' family drama will end its tear-soaked run with a sixth and final season, set to air Thursdays at 10 p.m. on NBC. Bye-bye, Bravermans, we'll miss you so!
Parks and Recreation: Renewed for a Final Season
Just call Parks and Rec the little show that could and did! The Amy Poehler-fronted NBC comedy has been bounced around NBC's Thursday night schedule for years, but it has kept a small and dedicated audience with it. At NBC's 2014 TCA, the network's chairman of entertainment told reporters, "Parks and Rec is going to have a seventh season."
