Life Gets Full-Season Order

BURBANK, November 10: NBC
has picked up nine additional episodes of its sophomore drama Life, giving the series a full-season
order for 2008-09.

From Rand Ravich (The Astronaut's Wife) and Far Shariat (Confessions of a Dangerous Mind), Life focuses on a detective who returns
to the force after serving time in prison for a crime he didn't commit. The
drama moved to NBC's Wednesday schedule this past week and delivered a 2.0
rating, 5 share in adults 18 to 49 and 5.9 million viewers overall, improving
on its earlier average as a Friday regular by 33 percent in the 18-to-49 demo.

"This unique crime
drama continues to offer consistent and compelling stories each week,"
said Teri Weinberg, the executive VP of NBC Entertainment. "We love Life and are thrilled that we get to see
more of these characters and amazing new cases."
