CBS has renewed MOM, MIKE & MOLLY, and 2 BROKE GIRLS for the 2015-2016 season, the network officially announced. (News of MOM and MIKE & MOLLY’s renewal trickled out via social media last night.) They join previously renewed comedy THE BIG BANG THEORY, as well as already renewed freshman dramas, SCORPION, MADAM SECRETARY, and NCIS: NEW ORLEANS.

Here’s what the network had to say about it…

“CBS announced today that MOM, MIKE & MOLLY and 2 BROKE GIRLS have been renewed for the 2015-2016 broadcast season.

MOM, the critically acclaimed comedy starring Anna Faris and multiple Emmy Award winner Allison Janney, is the fastest growing returning series on television. Currently in its second season, it is up +42% in viewers (11.89m), +16% in adults 18-49 (2.9/09), and +31% in adults 25-54 (4.2/11), compared to a year ago. In its Thursday (8:30-9:00 PM) time period, MOM ranked first in viewers, adults 18-49 (tie) and adults 25-54. It continues to perform strongly since moving to 9:30 PM, improving the time period in all key measures.

MIKE & MOLLY, currently in its fifth season, starring Billy Gardell and Academy Award nominee and Emmy Award winner Melissa McCarthy, ranks first in its Monday (8:30-9:00 PM) time period in viewers (10.35m) and adults 25-54 (3.7/09), and second in adults 18-49 (2.5/09).  Compared to the year ago time period, MIKE & MOLLY is up +20% in viewers and +6% in adults 25-54.

THE BIG BANG THEORY, television’s #1 comedy, is renewed through the 2016-2017 season as part of a multi-year broadcast agreement that was announced last year.”
