While Big Love is only airing nine episode for its fourth season, HBO has at least delivered great news to fans of this hit drama:

It's been renewed for a fifth season.

The series tells the story of a polygamous family, anchored by an ambitious businessman and his trio of wives, played by Jeanne Tripplehorn, Chloe Sevigny, and Ginnifer Goodwin. Ratings for the season are up an average of 13 percent over last year.

We review each episode and encourage viewers to visit TV Fanatic each week for the latest Big Love spoilers, quotes opinions and more.
