That certainly did not take long.

Following one very highly rated episode, Da Vinci's Demons has been renewed for a second season by Starz.

“I’m excited that we get to continue the adventures of the world’s most eccentric and glorious polymath,” said series creator David S. Goyer in a statement. “Long live Leonardo and thanks to Starz for helping to make it happen.”

Over 2.14 million total viewers watched Da Vinci’s Demons during its premiere weekend, helping it become the highest-rated launch ever for an original Starz series.

Production on Season 2 will likely begin in Wales in May 2013. The new season will premiere in the spring of 2014.
