Although the official announcement is supposed to be out on Monday, it has already been posted on a few sites that the contracts are signed for a second 13 episode season. First off, I am very happy for Joss and the rest of the cast and crew. I would like to say "It couldn't have happened to a better show." But, although I like it and I have been following it, it has not gripped me like Firefly did. That said, I am excited about what the second season might bring.
As a reminder, the DVD is due out in July and the final episode of the season will be included.
Cheers!
