Back in July, HBO's President of Programming Michael Lombardo told reporters at the Television Critics Association's fall TV previews that "the odds are excellent" regarding a renewal. "We're very happy with the show," he added. "Honestly the conversations with Aaron this point are all about schedule. I would be shocked if you weren't hearing an announcement soon... We're enormously happy with Newsroom."

The Aaron Sorkin-written drama takes a behind-the-scenes look at the workings of a fictional cable news network. The Season 2 premiere was up 4 percent from the series premiere with 2.2 million viewers. Daniels also received his first Emmy nomination with the recent nod for Best Actor in a television drama series.
The news of the renewal came on the same day that HBO announced that hit series True Blood was coming to an end next year.
