In a surprising but welcome development, NBC orders a back nine (additional nine episodes) from Life thus completing its 22 episode order for the second season.
NBC will pick up nine additional episodes of its sophomore drama “Life” (Wednesdays, 9p.m. ET), giving the series a full-season order for 2008-09, it was announced today by Ben Silverman, Co-Chairman, NBC Entertainment and Universal Media Studios.
“This unique crime drama continues to offer consistent and compelling stories each week,” said Teri Weinberg, Executive Vice President, NBC Entertainment. “We love ‘Life’ and are thrilled that we get to see more of these characters and amazing new cases.”
“Life” moved to NBC’s Wednesday schedule this past week and delivered a 2.0 rating, 5 share in adults 18-49 and 5.9 million viewers overall, improving on its earlier average as a Friday regular by 33 percent in 18-49 rating. The November 5 telecast of “Life” ranked #2 in the competitive Wednesday time period in men 18-34 and improved its adult 18-49 rating from half-hour to half-hour by 11 percent (to a 2.1 rating from a 1.9).
The Wall Street Journal called “Life” “…a steady burn - of talent, of smart writing, of chemical reactions.” The New York Daily News called it “brilliant” and “sizzling” and the Dallas Morning News called it “a new-age ‘Rockford Files.’”

NBC moves ‘Life’ back to Wednesday on November 5:
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. — NBC adds more drama to its Wednesday night schedule when an all-new season of “Law & Order” premieres Wednesday, November 5, (10-11 p.m. ET), following “Knight Rider” (8-9 p.m. ET) and “Life” (9-10 p.m. ET) in its new day and time period. Likewise, the network also re-shapes Fridays with “Lipstick Jungle” stepping in behind “Crusoe,” (9-10 p.m. ET) beginning Friday, October 31 (10-11 p.m. ET) Continue reading "Life moves back to Wednesdays"…
If you missed Life you can catch Life in iTunes, Amazon UnBox, NBC.com and Hulu.
Life is currently on the bubble and I think every little bit helps, I just hope that the DVR numbers and the numbers in Hulu and NBC.com viewing will help our show.

For Sarah Shahi, Life Is Beautiful
by Ileane Rudolph
Sarah Shahi’s got a cool cop show, a hot new look — and she’s getting married. What’s not to love? We talked to the LIFE (Oct. 6 at 10 pm/ET, NBC and then Fridays at 10 pm) star about what’s ahead for Dani this season, her stint on THE L WORD and growing up in Texas with a name like Aahoo.
TV Guide: Your character on LIFE, cop Dani Reese, is looking pretty hot this season. Did she get a makeover?
Sarah Shahi: My hair is down! You will never see that bun again. We wanted to make the show a little sexier, a bit more fun. [Laughs] Next thing, a bikini.

Despite being the great show that it is, the thing with LIFE is that it doesn’t seem to be getting a lot of love, support or promotion from the network (NBC). So it only makes sense to see fans all over the world deciding to take matters into their own hands, and creating fansites. The more the merrier, of course, which is why we’re happy to announce that a new site came to life, created by our very own isagrimorie : Zennish.net
So be sure to go check it out and make sure you are zennish, and let’s hope all those efforts will show NBC how much the show is loved and that it does deserve more appreciation, and a full season pick-up, and more…

Rand Ravich, Damian Lewis and Sarah Shahi had a phone interview, a long and fun interview with spoilers through out season 2.
Damian Lewis, Sarah Shahi & Rand Ravich on NBC’s ‘Life’
Tuesday, 30 September 2008
By Christina Radish
The NBC drama Life, from executive producers Rand Ravich and Far Shariat, focuses on a detective who is given a second chance. Charlie Crews (Damian Lewis) returns to the force after serving 12 years in prison for murders he didn’t commit. With a Zen-like outlook, peace of mind and no need for vengeance, Crews is focused on investigating the mystery surrounding the crime he was falsely accused of. Surrounding the complex, offbeat Crews are his skeptical partner, Dani Reese (Sarah Shahi), Officer Bobby Stark (Brent Sexton), Captain Kevin Tidwell (Donal Logue) and former cellmate Ted Earley (Adam Arkin).
Co-stars Damian Lewis and Sarah Shahi, along with Ravich, spoke to MediaBlvd Magazine about what fans of the series can expect from Season 2.
