HBO renews "Newsroom" and "True Blood"
Creator and executive producer Aaron Sorkin (R) poses with cast members Jane Fonda and Jeff Daniels at the premiere of the HBO television series ''The Newsroom'' at the Cinerama Dome in Los Angeles, California June 20, 2012. |
LOS ANGELES, July 3 (Reuters) - The news business may be in tumult in the digital age, but "The Newsroom" was doing just fine on Monday when cable TV network HBO renewed the high-profile TV drama for a second season.
HBO also said it will bring back vampire drama "True Blood" for a sixth season next year.
Both shows have been among the network's top programs, but "The Newsroom," created by "The Social Network" writer Aaron Sorkin and starring Jeff Daniels, is new to US television having been launched less than two weeks ago behind massive publicity.
Daniels plays a cynical, middle-aged TV anchorman who, along with his producer ex-girlfriend (Emily Mortimer), attempts to shake up his nightly show by restoring honorable journalism.
The program earned mixed reviews following its June 23 premiere. Website metacritic.com, which compiles critiques of TV shows, movies and music, scored the program 57 out of 100, based on 31 reviews. But a "user score" generated by fans making comments on the website was much higher at 8.6 out of 10.
Meanwhile "True Blood," a fantasy drama telling of vampires who roam among the humans in fictional Bon Temps, Louisiana, also was renewed by the network. HBO did not disclose any details on air dates or possible changes for the new seasons. |

When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he's hit the jackpot-fame and fortune are his for the taking-that is until he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone's been expecting.

Unlimited funds have allowed Diana (McCarthy) to live it up on the outskirts of Miami, where the queen of retail buys whatever strikes her fancy. There's only one glitch: The ID she's using to finance these sprees reads "Sandy Bigelow Patterson"....and it belongs to an accounts rep (Bateman) who lives halfway across the U.S. With only one week to hunt down the con artist before his world implodes, the real Sandy Bigelow Patterson heads south to confront the woman with an all-access pass to his life. And as he attempts to bribe, coax and wrangle her the 2,000 miles to Denver, one easy target will discover just how tough it is to get your name back.
Cast: Jason Bateman, Melissa McCarthy, Amanda Peet
Language: English
