NBC Hasn't Killed "Life"... Yet

It looks like there's still life left in, well, Life.

The NBC crime drama--which stars Damien Lewis, Sarah Shahi, Adam Arkin, Brent Sexton, and Donal Logue--was granted a stay of execution today as the Peacock opted to order a full season of Life with an additional order of the back nine episodes.

Created by Rand Ravitch, Life (now in its second season) was believed by many insiders to be on the bubble despite positive critical traction.

"This unique crime drama continues to offer consistent and compelling stories each week," said Teri Weinberg, Executive Vice President, NBC Entertainment, in a press release. "We love Life and are thrilled that we get to see more of these characters and amazing new cases."
