"Hot in Cleveland" renewed for second season

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Betty White's hot streak continues.

The ex-"Golden Girls" star's new TV Land sitcom, "Hot in Cleveland," has been picked up for a second season. The network has made a significant commitment to the show, ordering 20 episodes -- twice as many as season one. The second season is tentatively scheduled to debut in January next year.

The order also answers the question of whether co-star White would continue with the show. The 88-year-old actress initially agreed only to a single season, and expressed some reservations about diving full time into a series commitment.

"Hot in Cleveland" debuted last month to 4.8 million viewers, which TV Land touts as the most-watched sitcom telecast in cable TV history.
