Just days after the second season premiere, Showtime has given an early third season order to the Emmy-winning "United States of Tara."


"...the recent Emmy and Golden Globe wins for Toni Collette in her tour de force role as a woman with multiple personalities put her in a class by herself. Strong women will continue to rule on this network for a long time to come." states Showtime President Rober Greenblatt.




The show has been ordered for 12 additional episodes and will go into production later this year, presumably to return in the spring of 2011.



As Greenblatt's statement indicated, "United States of Tara" has now seen star Toni Collette win an Emmy and Golden Globe for Best Actress in a comedy. Created by Diablo Cody, the show also stars John Corbett, Keir Gilchrist and Brie Larson.

"'USoT' just got picked up for a third season. Immense, loving thanks to everyone for watching! We'll be writing again very soon," Diablo Cody tweeted.
