TNT Renews Two Drama Series

ATLANTA, September 17: Saving
Grace and Raising the Bar are set for new seasons on TNT, after both shows
recently scored top ratings for the network.

Currently airing Mondays
at 10 p.m., Raising the Bar,
from Emmy-Award winning executive producer Steven Bochco, follows the lives and
cases of young lawyers who work on opposite sides. Saving Grace stars Oscar winner Holly Hunger as a forceful
Oklahoma City police detective with a fiery spirit.

“Before Raising the Bar debuted, we were confident that the series would
be a strong addition to TNT,” said Michael Wright, the senior VP in charge of
the content creation group for TNT, TBS and TCM. “The series, however, has gone
beyond our expectations. What has been most satisfying to us is to watch the
creative growth of the show across the episodes and to see these characters and
stories pay-off as the season progresses. It was an easy decision to bring back
Raising the Bar for a second
season and to continue our great relationship with Steven Bochco and the entire
cast and crew.”

“In Saving Grace, Holly Hunter and creator Nancy Miller have
fashioned one of television’s most complex and compelling characters,” Wright
commented. “Few series on television are as daring as this one, and we’re
thrilled to be welcoming it back for another outstanding season.”
