Just a few episodes into their new seasons, Shameless, House of Lies and Californication all received big news today: They are returning to Showtime for yet another season!

President of Entertainment David Nevins made the announcement today, citing ratings for all three programs that are above their prior seasons across all platforms.

"Californication, House of Lies, and Shameless possess highly distinctive comedic voices, and given that all three continue to grow their audience season after season – the pick-up decision was easy,” said Nevins. “I am incredibly excited to see what each of these series has in store for their next seasons."

The trio of shows returned on January 13, each with their highest-rated episodes of all-time.

As Nevins said, they made his job incredibly simple.
