NBC has ordered three extra scripts each of its Friday comedies Happy’s Place and Lopez vs. Lopez.
As Deadline reported today, both multi-camera sitcoms had originally been picked up for 13 episodes. Broadcast networks often commission additional scripts of shows they are considering for back episodic orders as a way to keep the writers rooms working.
