Renewed: All Rise

Axed US courtroom drama All Rise has been thrown a lifeline by Oprah Winfrey’s OWN Network.

The series following judges, prosecutors, and public defenders in a Los Angeles courthouse ws axed after two seasons by CBS. It starred Simone Missick, Wilson Bethel, Jessica Camacho, Marg Helgenberger, Ruthie Ann Miles, Lindsay Mendez, and J. Alex Brinson.

But OWN has ordered 20 new episodes in a deal via Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution.

Simone Missick returns as Judge Lola Carmichael and showrunner Dee Harris-Lawrence is back. In addition to starring in the series, Missick will also act as an executive producer alongside Harris-Lawrence in the new season.

“All Rise has been a great performer, achieving strong ratings and growing its share from season one to two,” said Tina Perry, president of OWN. “Featuring a strong character front and center, Judge Lola Carmichael’s story reflects our audience with powerful affirmation. A special thanks to Warner Bros. Television and our incredible showrunner and longtime partner Dee Harris-Lawrence. We can’t wait to get started on season three and bring this show back for long-standing and new fans alike.”

In Australia the season has screened on FOX One which should hopefully be able to continue.
