Showtime's sex-crazed dramedy starring David Duchovny will be going for another round as network renews freshman show.
The hits keep rolling for "the new HBO."
Showtime has signed new comedy Californication to a second season, ordering up a dozen more episodes, says Variety. The call for a second season was made briskly, as the show only debuted in mid-August.
Californication is looking particularly juicy because the half-hour comedy is actually gaining viewers, whereas shows typically lose chunks of their audience following the premiere. According to Variety, the show has gained an average of 18 percent more viewers in its last three episodes than its August 13 premiere netted.
Californication has proved to be a worthy Monday nighttime partner for Showtime's steadiest hit, Weeds, which is currently in its third season.
David Duchovny stars in Californication as a sex-addicted novelist trying to raise his daughter and deal with his ex-girlfriend.
In other renewal news, TBS this week OK'd a second season of the comedy The Bill Engvall Show.

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SHOW!
07/22/2008 20:27:20I was turned onto this show completely be accident when a friend asked me if I knew where to get the first season. I got my hands on it and watched it and I have to say that show is so well written that I watched the entire season in 2 sittings during my weekend. The show manages to be funny, shocking, outrageous and sad all blended together so seamlessly that it's hard to tell where one ends and the other begins. Can't say enough good things about this show.
11/22/2007 13:42:30This show rocks! Really, there is no other show out there at the moment that has flowing shock value like Californication. Duchovny hit a winner!
11/08/2007 00:02:58The writing on this show is phenomenal. My husband & I tune in every week. Please, Don't stop now..Keep it coming! To the whole cast, UR GREAT!!Its too bad they didnt keep "Mind of a Married Man" on.
11/07/2007 08:06:48To Angelwomyn: it's correct that the Peppers have an album/song called Californication, but they didn't come up with that. Californication is a portmanteau of California and fornication, written about in Time on August 21, 1972 and seen on bumper stickers in the U.S. states of Colorado and Oregon. It refers primarily to "haphazard, mindless development that has already gobbled up most of Southern California".:):):) PS: the show rocks, looking forward to season 2! anyone knows when it's gonna air?
11/04/2007 10:27:53GREAT Show, keep em cUmming :P
10/30/2007 11:28:07I never saw David that good. The show is my new favorite cause "Weeds" lost it's humor lately.
10/09/2007 14:45:43Awesome, looking forward to it.
10/07/2007 19:12:05This is a damn good show.... kinda the male version of Desperate Housewives.... hope it doesn't go that the DH way.. as DH is got crappy every episode after the first season....
10/01/2007 21:10:30The shock factor of not knowing what they will do next is what keeps be watching. David is great in a comedic role
09/17/2007 21:44:20god damn this fuc*ing show sucks
09/17/2007 20:35:03Dave will never escape The X Files tag, but at least he's not starring in shows cancelled after one season. Good on him, I say!
09/14/2007 16:10:21Great news. I love the show. DD is the best!
09/13/2007 12:10:39This is the best show for seeing naked broads on TV. I don't think 5 minutes passes without seeing full frontal nudity and they keep Duchuvny out of the shots!
09/11/2007 10:11:28That's great! I've liked it since the first show and it's not let me down yet.
09/10/2007 15:45:56Just great news 4 the best new show on TV. Applause :D.
09/10/2007 11:37:12Awesome news!!! More Duchovny to look forward to!
09/09/2007 21:33:02Fantastic news, love the show! Really funny and caused me addiction to it :) Nice!
09/09/2007 15:01:39Nice!
09/09/2007 12:14:36Good News! This show is hysterically funny :lol:
09/09/2007 06:07:40This is great news! I LOVE the show!
09/08/2007 20:05:41very good news, Californication is an excellent show
09/08/2007 16:58:54after x-files i will follow Mulder...I mean David anywhere. Plus the show is awesome. A show about sex whats not to Love?
09/08/2007 16:32:52I'm so happy I love this show!
09/08/2007 15:13:48This is awesome, this show kicks ass, best decision showtime made in a long time.
09/08/2007 12:10:20Excellent news! Although I wish we could have more episodes.
09/08/2007 11:37:45This is the best news i have heard all day... although sometimes i think it could be longer... then i think nah its cool how it is coz its gonna have more of a lifespan this way... 5 years of half hour eps is better than 2 or 3 years of 1 hour eps.
09/08/2007 11:01:12I love this show and I'm really glad it has been renewed. I really think it could work as an hour per episode and hope they can change that in the future.
09/08/2007 05:11:44It actually surprised me - Duchovny is bearable and even cute at times and the cast cliks really well. They've just csratched the surface so there's lots of places to go. I just wish someone would point me to all these sex-starved places these women court these successful men who, in turn, want nothing more than to live normal picket fence lives.
09/08/2007 02:24:41love this show i thought this show would be cut after season 1
09/08/2007 00:06:41This show stole its title from a Red Hot Chili Peppers song.
09/07/2007 18:59:21I've only seen the first 2 episodes but I loved them! Can't wait for them to come out on DVD so I can see the whole run.
09/07/2007 18:46:24i didnt see that coming...
09/07/2007 18:32:31good news for HBO
