UPDATE: It's Official, She'll Be Back! Fox confirms renewal of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles for next season with a 13 episode order.
TV Guide's Michael Ausiello is reporting the "exclusive scoop" that Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles will be back. Ausiello offers up absolutely no details at all other than "multiple sources confirm to him exclusively" that it has been renewed.
This is no surprise, especially with Ausiello reporting much earlier that they were already staffing for the show and FOX's Kevin Reilly confirmed this in a discussion with the Hollywood Reporter earlier this week.
"We've already started staffing on ‘Sarah Connor.' Although it was an unusual season, it will end up finishing by far and away the strongest new drama of the season," Reilly told The Hollywood Reporter.
Plus the numbers were pretty good. So while we do not know yet:
- When it will be on
- How many epsisodes there will be Update: 13 episodes ordered.
- If Summer Glau's character "Cameron" got vaporized...we do now know:
She'll be back. Summer, Sarah, and Thomas Dekker too (and we imagine, Brian Austin Green as well). We always thought the numbers were good enough, especially in light of other new shows from FOX not performing as well. I'm looking forward to more details.
Note: Alert reader Raijin observes in the comments below that in Terminator lore, April 21st is "Judgment Day". I doubt it's a coincidence that FOX passed (positive) judgment on that date!
Amazing! No Summer = No T:SCC. Ergo, she’ll most definitely be back!

I’m with you, she’ll most definitely be back!

It’s not a scoop if Reilly already confirmed this with his “staffing” comment.
But good news. The hot babe on the show, btw, is Lena Headey

@dearme there haven’t been a throng of people calling for Miss Guided’s renewal, but if it happens I’d put her picture up.
@Andrea if you click the “She’ll be back” link above there is some homage to Lena H., and I agree she is a total babe.

I love how Ausiello’s saying FOX declined comment. Their coyness with this show is just annoying as anything.
But there’s enough info from sources floating around out there though that I think this is about as good as it’s going to get until the official line-up is released.
Taking a guess at your three questions, Robert, I’ll say –
– Mondays 8e/7c as the lead-in for a new drama
– 22 episodes
– Summer/Cameron will be all healed in time to go shopping for a prom dress.

I don’t understand the worry over Cameron’s condition.
That looked to be a very ordinary low velocity explosion in the car. Nowhere near enough to damage her hyper-alloy chassis.
A bit of tissue regrowth, which we know is possible in the storyline, and she’s good as new!

Frank my (very, very speculative) theory on FOX’s coyness is this: they’re somehow trying to extort cash from Warner Brothers (US Distributor of Terminator 4 movie) and it’s just “Yeahhh, we’re not sure if we’re going to bring it back” posturing to get Warner Bros to try to encourage FOX more.

Bill, come on…it’s a hyper-alloy combat chassis. And you call yourself a fan…
Seriously though, I don’t get the worry over her either. You should see the fan boards. You’d have thought they killed her off, or FOX was using this opportunity to get rid of Summer and get another actress. Like the show would have been as popular without her, or renewed!
Robert, I agree. I’m assuming the deal was FOX getting a good price per episode, and Warner Brothers gets good press running up to their movie. There’s even rumor of a plot tie-in. That’s sort of why I suspect SCC is getting a full season too. The movie comes out next year. By the way any news on the DVD release? I’m assuming Warner will want that out as soon as possible so they can make up for the FOX discount early.
