Great news for fans of great television: FX has ordered a 13-episode fourth season of Sons of Anarchy.

It ranks as basic cable’s number-one scripted series for viewers between the ages of 18-49 and garners 8.6 million total viewers each week when tallying up repeated airings.

“Sons of Anarchy is the most popular show FX has ever had, and the #1 series in basic cable for our key demographic.  It is also one of the best, most original series on television,” John Landgraf, President and General Manager of FX Networks, said. “FX is grateful to Kurt Sutter and his team of writers, actors, directors and crew for working so hard to make a show that achieves both those levels of success.   We congratulate them and look forward to season four.”
