After airing just one episode, HBO has renewed their new TV show Luck for a second season.

Starring Dustin Hoffman, Dennis Farina and Nick Nolte, HBO aired a special preview episode of Luck in December. It attracted a 0.4 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 1.14 million total viewers. The season officially began two nights ago with a re-airing of the pilot.

The ratings were apparently strong enough for HBO to give the go-ahead for 10 more episodes. They’ll go into production late next month and will air in January 2013.

HBO ordered just nine episodes for season one (including the pilot) and those will finish airing on March 25th.

Here’s the official press release:

The French love Shakira to death.

The award-winning singer, whose cover of “Je l’aime à mourir” (“I love her to death”) debuted at No. 1 on the French singles chart, received the nation’s prestigious culture medal in Cannes on Saturday.

Colombia’s biggest export was presented with the honor by French Minister of Culture Frederic Mitterand.

And just what did the international pop star have to say about her latest accolade?

Courtesy of some inside knowledge from Hulu CEO Jason Kilar, we now know why the execs at Time Warner thought it was a good idea to allow their company to be purchased with bubble-inflated AOL stock a dozen years ago.

They were high on drugs.

Describing a scene from a technology conference that preceded the debacle that created AOL Time Warner, Kilar said Monday night: “I remember one time guys from AOL and Time Warner were there. They were out of their minds on homemade acid. Next thing you now, they wake up naked, in the middle of the desert. They don’t know where they are, and their company is merged.”

Obviously — we think — it’s just a joke.

Kilar’s revelation is made in a Funny or Die video that also stars Martha Stewart and an image of Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg streaking.

The video opened the D: Dive Into Media conference Monday night at the Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel. The conference, from the journalists at AllThingsD, runs through Tuesday and features presentations from News Corp. COO Chase Carey, Viacom CEO Philippe Dauman, ESPN president John Skipper, rocker Neil Young and more.

Horse racing drama Luck is a big winner for HBO.

‘Luck’s’ David Milch: ‘I Did My Best to Make It Accessible’Luck: TV Review

The David Milch series starring Dustin Hoffman and Nick Nolte has been renewed for a second season.

PHOTOS: HBO’s Premiere of ‘Luck’

After drawing 3.3 million total viewers — including replays — for its series premiere Sunday, the premium cable network has announced the renewal two days later. The figure includes the initial 1.1 million viewers who tuned in to early preview of the drama following the Dec. 29 Boardwalk Empire season finale.

Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter at last week’s premiere party in Hollywood, creator/EP David Milch said the writers were already breaking stories for a second season and were expecting the renewal to come “within a month.”

Season two will consist of 10 episodes and is slated to air January 2013.

“We couldn’t be more thrilled with the critical response to this beautiful piece of work,” HBO programming president Michael Lombardo said in a statement announcing the news Tuesday, “and we are very excited about where David and Michael plan to take these incredible characters.”

The early renewal was expected as the series films at Santa Anita race track and would need to schedule production between the horse racing season. Production will resume at the end of February.

The early renewal follows HBO’s Game of Thrones quick pickup last year. The fantasy drama received an early second season announcement in order to accommodate its intense production demands.
