Toni Collette and all four of her character's personalities will return for a second season of The United States of Tara.

Robert Greenblatt, Showtime president of entertainment, released the following statement, regarding this decision:

"It has been pure pleasure working with Diablo Cody, Toni Collette, Steven Spielberg and everyone at Dreamworks on [the show]. This is a perfect fit for our premium brand and we're thrilled that critics and audiences have responded to this groundbreaking show so well.  I look forward to many more alternate personalities emerging from this unique series.”

The third episode of The United States of Tara airs this Sunday.

What can fans expect in the installment?

According to Korbi Ghosh from Zap2It, fans are gonna spend some time with Kate's new "Barnaby's" boss this Sunday - and he's an even bigger douchebag than Marshall's teacher.

The United States of Tara is officially a hit for Showtime.

With that in mind, Kristin Dos Santos of E! Online recently answered a fan's question, regarding a future show storyline. To paraphrase the spoiler:

Since Tara has been working on that mural for her sister's friend Tiffany, she's becoming good friends with her, up until the point where Tiffany forces an appearance by one of Tara's alters. This won't be a good idea, and the mural suffers the consequences.

So far, so very good for The United States of Tara.

The series' premiere episode was seen by more than 2.5 million people last week, delivering better ratings than Dexter, Weeds, The Tudors and Californication on their opening nights.

The numbers should only climb this Sunday, as Tony Hale appears as Marshall's English teacher.

Oh yes, that's the same guy that played on Buster Bluth Arrested Development.

The United States of Tara premieres this Sunday on Showtime.

On the pilot, Tara Gregson attempts to live a normal life with her family while suffering from multiple personality disorder.
