Lie To Me Picked Up For A Full Season

The intriguing “Lie to Me” has been picked up by Fox for a full season.

Fox has ordered nine additional episodes of the human lie detector drama starring Tim Roth, which completes the full season order.

The episodic order follows the three-script pickup for “Lie” last month.

With Shawn Ryan as new show-runner, the 20th TV/Imagine TV-produced “Lie to Me” has done so-so in the post-”House” Monday 9 p.m. time slot this fall.

In its most recent airing this week, the Christmas-themed episode of “Lie to Me” averaged 7.3 million viewers and a 2.7 rating in adults 18-49, holding onto 60% of its “House” demo lead-in. Still, the show is doing well enough to warrant a season finish and hopefully further season orders.
