The CW Renews Whose Line Is It Anyway for Season 2

The CW has renewed Whose Line Is It Anyway for a second season, the network announced Monday.

The CW has ordered 24 new half-hour installments for Season 2. A premiere date will be announced at a later time.

Cult shows that deserve a movie

Featuring original stars Ryan Stiles, Wayne Brady and Colin Mochrie and hosted by The Talk's Aisha Tyler, The CW brought back the improvisational series this summer after six years off the air. The resurrected version of Whose Line premiered on The CW to 2.9 million viewers — making it the network's most watched unscripted series premiere in six years.

"It's clear that viewers are as excited to have Whose Line back on the air as we are," The CW's President, Mark Pedowitz, said in a statement. "We have wanted to bring comedy back to The CW for a long time, and Aisha, Wayne, Colin and Ryan have brought funny to the network in a big way. We're very excited to have them back for another season."

Whose Line Is It Anyway airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on The CW.
