Tru Calling Gets Full Season

Fox Remains Tru

Fox Broadcasting Co. has picked up seven additional episodes of the supernatural series Tru Calling, starring Buffy the Vampire Slayer alumna Eliza Dushku, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The back order for Tru Calling brings to 20 the number of episodes the network has picked up for the 20th Century Fox TV/Original TV show, the trade paper reported. The batch of episodes, two short of the standard 22-episode order for a drama series, will run through the end of the season, which for Fox is abbreviated because of post-season baseball coverage in the fall, the trade paper reported.

In Tru Calling, Dushku plays a recent college graduate who answers pleas for help from dead people and relives the previous 24 hours. In its Thursday 8 p.m. timeslot, the show averaged 3.8 million viewers in its most recent outing, the trade paper reported. Created by Jon Harmon Feldman, Tru Calling is executive produced by Feldman, Marty Adelstein, Neal Moritz, Dawn Parouse and R.W. Goodwin.
