A mere five weeks into its sophomore season, Army Wives has been enlisted for a third season, Lifetime officially announced last Friday.

"Since premiering in 2007, Army Wives has been a game-changer for Lifetime," president and CEO Andrea Wong said of the drama.

"Announcing this early renewal is a testament to the enormous faith and confidence we have in this show."

This season Army Wives is been #1 with Lifetime's target demo of women 18-49, as well as with women 25-54.

That's #1 among all ad-supported basic cable series. As well as in terms of looks. These are some pretty wives, after all.
