Starz Renews "Boss" Before Season 1 Even Premieres

posted Sep 27th 2011

Kelsey Grammer's return to scripted TV, "Boss", has received a Season 2 pick-up before Season 1 has even hit the airwaves.

That means 10 new episodes (in addition to Season 1's eight) of the Farhad Safinia-created series will eventually hit the airwaves.

"The first time we read Farhad's script, we knew we had to make 'Boss,'" Chris Albrecht, CEO and president of Starz, said in a statement.

"With each episode, the story grew richer, and the cast continued to turn in breakthrough performances. Led by Kelsey and Farhad, this creative team is giving us dramatic storytelling at its very best. For our viewers, we felt it important to start working on the next season as soon as possible."

Grammer stars as Chicago's powerful mayor Tom Kane (Grammer). His character will be threatened with a secret that could topple him.

"It's nice to get this vote of confidence," Grammer said about the renewal. "Good thinking, I love this show."

After "Frasier", Grammer tried his hand at two sitcoms, "Back to You" and "Hank", and both were canceled quickly.

This is going to be a GREAT series! As mentioned above, BOSS has already been renewed for a second season!

A sampling of the first episode will be able to be seen online at starz.com/originals/Boss/ScreeningRoom#/episode-1 one week prior to the premiere on the early morning of October 14 @ 12:01am EST.

STARZ also recently launched ScandalousDirt.com. The site is your insider access to breaking conversations on the latest political scandals trending on Twitter while blurring the line between fact and fiction by interweaving the BOSS's story lines and latest updates on each episode with “live tweets”.

I am currently working with STARZ to help promote this series, so if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me!

Thanks,
Derek
