This is the God's honest truth: Lie to Me is coming back for another season.

A Fox rep wouldn't comment, but reliable sources confirm that the network has renewed the freshman drama for a 13-episode second season. And here's where things get really interesting: Shawn Ryan, the genius producer-writer behind The Shield and The Unit, is taking over as showrunner. Don't interpret that to mean The Unit is dead though. I'm told if the CBS procedural returns -- and it very well may -- Ryan will juggle both shows.

Additionally, Fox has picked up two new shows: the comedy Sons of Tucson starring Reaper's Tyler Labine and the DC comic adaptation Human Target starring Mark Valley.
