Chuck Lorre comedies “Mom” and “Mike & Molly” have earned early pickups from CBS, although the news leaked out via social media before the network was formally ready to announce the renewals.
Both Warner Bros. TV sitcoms were expected to return for the 2015-16 season.
“Mom” will be heading into its third season, while “Mike & Molly” will be in its sixth season.
“Mom” has growing critical buzz, and Allison Janney’s Emmy win last year for her work in season one likely sealed the deal. “Mike & Molly,” which stars Melissa McCarthy and Billy Gardell, has been a utility player for the Eye, although there are questions about how long McCarthy will stick with the show once her current deal expires as her film career continues to blossom.
Word of the early renewals surfaced Wednesday afternoon via social-media messages from staffers on the shows who were excited to share the good news.
