More than three weeks after it was renewed in Canada, the summer hit
drama “Flashpoint” has received a vote of confidence from CBS.

CBS announced on Friday (Sept. 19) that it has ordered a 13 episode
second season for “Flashpoint.”
Mostly, CBS’s announcement was a confirmation that the network would
be airing the 13 episodes, since Canada’s CTV ordered the episodes
last month for airing North of the Border, with CBS Paramount still
on board as a co-producer.
“Flashpoint,” which focuses on a specialized emergency rescue unit
out of Toronto, has aired on both CBS and CTV this summer. CBS began
by airing the drama, originally ordered in the spring as insurance
against a prolonged writers strike, on Fridays and shifted it
Thursdays early in its run.
For its season, “Flashpoint” is averaging more than 7.7 million
viewers on CBS, but Thursday night’s episode hit series highs in
total viewers (9.66 million) and adults 18-49, with a preliminary 2.6
rating in the key demo.
The second season of “Flashpoint,” which features Enrico
Colantoni, Hugh Dillon and Amy Jo Johnson among its stars, will begin
production in early 2009 in Toronto.
Neither CTV nor CBS has settled on a specific 2009 premiere date.
