Toni Collette was no doubt happy about today's news. So were Tara, Buck, Alice, and T. Showtime has renewed its original program The United States of Tara for a second season, reports Broadcasting & Cable. In its first year,Tara has performed well, with its premiere besting the cable net's other top performers.
The order puts the second season at a dozen episodes, with production beginning this summer in hopes of an early 2010 premiere. The first season debuted last month on January 18.
The United States of Tara stars Collette as Tara, a woman living with Dissociative Identity Disorder. The show is the perfect stage for Collette to show off her acting chops, as it allows her to play neutral Tara and her three alter egos: Buck the macho trucker, T the teenaged floozy, and Alice the perfect homemaker.
The drama has plenty of big names behind it; Steven Spielberg is signed on as a producer and Oscar-winnerDiablo Cody (Juno) is one of the writers.
Are you excited the show will be back?
