Justified Gets A Second Season

There’s good news for FX’s drama series Justified. The cable network announced today that they’ve decided to pick the series up for a second season.

Justified stars Timothy Olyphant as Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens, a country boy who’s sent back to his home state of Kentucky, where he not only has to do his job but also deal with his past. The series is still in its first season, with six new episodes to go before the season wraps up. New episodes air Tuesdays at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT. (Season finale airs June 8th!)

“We are very excited about the tremendous, widespread acclaim that Justified has received from both audiences and television critics,” said John Landgraf, President and General Manager of FX Network. “Graham Yost, Tim Olyphant, Elmore Leonard and their talented partners have crafted a uniquely ambitious and entertaining series which is everything we aspired to when we developed the show.”

FX gave Justified a 13-episode second season order, which means fans not only get to look forward to what’s left of the first season but they can also rejoice in knowing there’s more to come.
