Syfy Renews Warehouse 13

Variety is reporting that Syfy has ordered a 13-episode second season of its new hit drama Warehouse 13. And I do mean hit. According to the article, it is the “most-watched show in Syfy’s 17-year history,” with an average 3.7 million viewers per episode (1.4 million of which are in the coveted adults 18-49 demographic). Furthermore, those viewers are almost evenly split between men and women, which is apparently very unusual for Syfy. And finally, so far Warehouse 13 is outperforming the first season of Battlestar Galactica, which for some silly reason makes me a little giddy.

For some reason, however, Syfy decided not to go with a 20-episode season and opted instead for just another 13 episodes. I actually prefer 13 episode seasons because it is harder to split 13 in half, meaning no lengthy hiatus. Four episodes remain to be aired from this first season (the two-hour premiere counts as two). Season Two will likely air sometime during the summer of 2010.
