Fox to see more 'Vanished'

Net orders 3 more scripts, but no guarantee for pickup

Fox is giving "Vanished" an early vote of confidence, ordering three additional scripts of the new missing-person drama.

While no guarantee of a full-season pickup, move is a sign that net execs are encouraged by the show's early ratings. Skein inched up a tad in its second airing Aug. 28; its third episode aired last night.

Fox is premiering almost all of its sked prior to the season's official start Sept. 18. In addition to "Vanished," new drama "Justice" and reality competish "Celebrity Duets" bowed last week.

"Standoff," "'Til Death" and "Happy Hour" roll out this week.

Josh Berman created "Vanished," which hails from 20th Century Fox TV.
