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?

Great show. Episodes are a little uneven but the characters are interesting and the episodes exciting. Spent some time in Kentucky at Ft. Knox. Seems like they have tapped into some of the Kentucky rural essence.
Love this show. I look forward to season three.
I sure hope that the renewal for season 3 is a done deal. I’m jonesing out now that the seasons over. Great last scene. If they don’t renew, not knowing , and having to come up with my own final ending, would drive me crazy forever.
This is hands down my favorite show. Keep the seasons coming please.
Love this show. If Raylan was a “real” US Marshall I would move to Harlan tomorrow and rob a bank! Boyd is always a treat, you never know what he will do or say.
Winona is not my favorite, but I do like Ava. Great writing and great stories!
I can’t wait for season 3. I hope they don’t kill Boyd Crowder off, he keeps Raylan guessing. Their relationship really makes the show interesting.
Best show Ive seen in many years. We cant wait for each Wednesday night. I love the shows surprizes and twists. We are looking forward to season three, four, five, etc.
I have loved this show since season 1. However, I can’t stand the Winona and Raylan relationship. I hope that the fact that both Raylan and Ava seem to have put aside their ethics by hooking up with people who are less than honest (meaning that they are both on a path that does not agree with their true selves), means that they will come to realize the mistake they are making and find each other again early in the next season. The character of Winona brings nothing to the series, she’s even blah in her dishonesty. Other than that,… Read more »
Great show. Justified and The Closer are the two best shows on TV.
I was a great fan of Nip N Tuck but Justified makes me look forward to Wednesday nights at 10. Love the show and it is the only show I watch on TV during the week. Love the hat, the man & the show.
We watch Justified every week. We watch some episodes more than once. We are looking forward to seeing the remaining season 2 episodes and are looking forward to season 3.
please keep the show going,its one of the best shows iv seen in years
Justified is definitely one of the best shows on TV. Timothy Olyphant is one hell of an actor and perfect for the lead role.
I await Wednesday nights w/such anticipation. Awesome show. Timothy is great, and Winona is hot!
we definateley want season three and more. when is season two out on dvd?
My favorite TV program. Love the show, love the hat, love Winona. Looking forward to Season Three.
