USA Comes to Senses, Renews 'Playing House' for Second Season
Way to take it down to the wire USA. Just when I was giving up hope, you decide to bring back one of my most beloved new shows of 2014.
Deadline reports that, six months after its first season run, Playing House has finally been renewed. The network announced earlier this year that they were moving away from the scripted comedy game. Now, Playing House, Benched and Sirens only remain. I guess that goes for Modern Family too.
Playing House reportedly had only OK ratings on television but did better on demand. So, naturally, USA has decided to move the show to an on demand format. A week before it airs on TV, viewers can catch the show on Xfinity, USA Now and other video on demand places. It looks as though the Netflix model and cable format are coming together into one cohesive, sexy space.
