CBS Renews 'God Friended Me' For Second Season

CBS has renewed "God Friended Me" for a second season the network announced Tuesday. The freshman dramedy starring Brandon Micheal Hall stands as CBS’ second most-watched new series (behind "FBI").

"We’re thrilled with how God Friended Me has performed on Sundays," Eye Entertainment President Kelly Kahl said in a statement. "It’s one of the top three new series on television, has improved its time period significantly, and continues a long tradition of prestige dramas for CBS on the night."

"Our amazing cast and producers have done a wonderful job of bringing this series to life each week with humorous and inspirational storylines," added Thom Sherman, Senior EVP of Programming at CBS "Viewers have clearly embraced our characters and the positive message the show delivers."

The pickup of "God Friended Me" makes the fourth rookie series that has been renewed by CBS. Last week the network ordered a second season of "The Neighborhood," "Magnum P.I." and "The FBI."
