NBC executives apparently forsee a bright future for “Medium.”
According to people familiar with the situation, the network today ordered six more episodes of the CBS Paramount Network Television-produced drama. “Medium” was given a 13-episode midseason order last spring, and now NBC has decided to expand its total commitment to the show to 19 episodes.
There’s still no official word on when the show will return on to what timeslot. The network had planned to air the show on Sundays starting in January, according to a schedule released last spring. But there’s been some talk that the show could end up Mondays at 10 p.m., behind “Heroes.”
While “Medium” hasn’t made NBC’s fall schedule the last few years, the show has been a reliable ratings performer for the network. Glenn Gordon Caron is the executive producer on “Medium.”
An NBC spokeswoman declined comment.
