Rovner and Cowan took control of Practice after the first season due to creator Shonda Rhimes' commitments to Grey's. Rhimes will continue to oversee all creative and production aspects of Practice.
Though ABC has not yet handed out an early renewal, Practice is expected to return for a fourth season.
