Justified is only seven episodes into its first season, but the ratings are good enough for FX to announce that the critically-acclaimed "modern Western" will get a second season of thirteen more episodes. Justified was the highest-rated series premiere in FX history (just barely surpassing The Shield's 2002 premiere) and is one of the highest-rated new series on all of basic cable. Not bad, considering that its creator and executive producer Graham Yost got his start on what totally should have been one of the highest-rated shows in basic cable history, Nickelodeon's Hey Dude.
We're just a little more than halfway through the first season, so now is as good a time as any to start watching. A new episode airs tonight at 10 pm and the first season will end on June 8th. The series is based on a character created by author Elmore Leonard and featured in his short story "Fire in the Hole" and novels Pronto and Riding the Rap. No word yet when the second season will premiere.
