Whitney: NBC Orders More Episodes

The peacock network has reportedly ordered three more episodes of Whitney, their sophomore sitcom. This will bring the show’s current season total to 16 episodes. NBC previously ordered five scripts.

Whitney was renewed for 13 episodes last May and was initially scheduled for a Friday night run. When Animal Practice was cancelled, NBC changed their plans and scheduled it on Wednesday nights at 8pm.

While Whitney hasn’t been a great performer for the network, it does out-perform some of the other comedies on the network and does better than Animal Practice did.

The four episodes that have aired this season have averaged a 1.3 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 3.96 million total viewers.
