TNT Picks Up Perception for Season 2

TNT has renewed Perception for a second season.

The Eric McCormack-driven drama ranks second among basic cable's top new scripted series (behind Major Crimes) and will return next summer with 13 episodes.

"Perception has captured the imagination of TNT's audience of armchair detectives with wonderfully intricate cases, emotionally charged situations and, of course, a terrific cast led by Eric McCormack," said Michael Wright, president, head of programming for TNT, TBS and Turner Classic Movies (TCM). "Daniel Pierce is a truly unique and fascinating addition to television's pantheon of crime solvers. We look forward to seeing where Perception takes us next."

The series airs a new episode on Monday at 10/9c.
