According to Deadline, FX is close to renewing Justified for a third season. The deal with Sony Pictures will likely be in place by the time of FX’s upfront party in New York on Tuesday. Timothy Olyphant and others in the cast are slated to appear at the event.
Though Justified has recently stumbled a bit in the ratings, the numbers for the current season are up when compared to the first season’s. Airing last spring, season one averaged a 0.9 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 2.42 million total viewers. This season, Justified has been averaging a 1.0 rating and 2.63 million viewers.
Combining the viewership for multiple airings of each episode, Justified is reportedly drawing about 7.4 million per installment. That’s close to the cumulative numbers for the cable channel’s popular Sons of Anarchy.
What do you think? Are you a fan of this TV series? Would you like to see Justified return for season three?

best series ive seen since lonesome dove, compares to longmire –great viewing
that would be wise to renew–good stories and great actors–cant wait.
Love this series!
There’s very few good shows on tv. This would be a good one to “RENEW”.
I absolutely love the show!! Great actors!! I am from the Lexington area and I love it whenever they mention a place and I know exactly where it is!! Keep the series going!!
Shows of this quality are rare. Please renew.
Hands down the best show on tv. the storyline is great and all the actors play spot on roles! prayin for a third season!
In season two, I looked forward to the next show more than any other. Everyone I talked to about it became fans. Several bought a dvd from the first season. I can’t wait for year three.
I love the Justified show. Would definatly like to see it renewed.
HELL YES GREAT SHOW
My favorite show, please renew…. I will be very disapointed if it is not, there is no good TV on any more, and then a great show like this comes out… keep it going please.
This has to be one of the best shows on tv-just not advertized. The acting is over the top!
I love the show.
