'Burn Notice' was a key player for USA over the summer.
USA Network has renewed its second show in two days: "Burn Notice" has been tapped for a fourth season.
Meanwhile, Fox has picked up the back-nine episodes of the Tim Roth drama "Lie to Me," from 20th Century Fox TV.
"Burn Notice," which stars Jeffrey Donovan as a Miami-based spy, was a key driver of USA's strong perf this summer. Cabler ran nine episodes and will air the remaining seven in January. USA's fourth-season order for Fox Television Studios series comes on the heels of Monday's fifth-season pickup for "Psych."
Fox's decision to stick with "Lie to Me" is not unexpected. The series' sophomore season started slowly, and numbers were down from last year, when it had the benefit of an "American Idol" lead-in. But its fortunes improved when it moved to the 9 p.m. Monday slot following "House."
Sophomore skein underwent a showrunner change as well this season. Shawn Ryan, exec producer of "The Shield" and "The Unit," took over for creator Samuel Baum.
