Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles has been renewed for a second season. This is news that we've all been anticipating for some time now. It'd been reported weeks ago that the
Terminator crew had been told to staff up by FOX, and all indications from the FOX executives pointed to a renewal. However, you can never be too sure with these things, and this seemingly final confirmation should finally put
Terminator fans at ease. The source of this
Terminator news comes from TV Guide's venerable Michael Ausiello, whose scooping abilities are incomparable in the TV world – he's rarely wrong. So, even though FOX itself has yet to confirm Terminator's renewal, there's about a 99.6% chance that it's true.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles wasn't the ratings hit that FOX had likely hoped for. FOX hyped the living hell out of the series prior to air, and the first episode pulled in a big audience, but after that the ratings were just OK. More importantly, though, the show itself was a creative success. There was no backlash from die-hard Terminator fans; they mostly embraced the series and enjoyed how it deepened the
Terminator mythology. Every episode seemed to improve upon the previous one, and the casting was inspired – especially
Thomas Dekker as the teenage John Connor and
Summer Glau as the newest “good” terminator. I can't wait to see where Josh Friedman (the show runner) and company will take us next season, especially after the chilling end of season one.
Initially,
Terminator was supposed to be coupled with
24 on Mondays. This would have provided FOX with an unparalleled action 1-2 punch. Unfortunately, the writers' strike tore that plan to pieces and
Terminator was left to fend for itself in a scary strike-addled TV landscape. It will be telling to see what FOX has planned for
Terminator next season. If they wait to premiere the show until January with
24, the ratings will certainly improve.
Should FOX wait till January and couple Terminator with 24?
