Showtime renews three

Major renewal news at Showtime: "House of Lies," "Californication," and "Shameless" all early new seasons today. ("House of Lies" no surprise at all - given that Don Cheadle is attached.)

“These three shows are clearly resonating with audiences as evidenced by their steady growth on Sunday nights," said Showtime prez David Nevins in a statement. "We are extremely pleased with the creative work being done by the casts, producers and writers – and I so appreciate that each of these series has such a clear and distinctive voice."
