'Claws' Gets a Second Season
by EG
TNT is going back to the nail salon.
The Turner-owned cable network has renewed rookie drama Claws for a second season. The series, which was initially developed for HBO, hails from Warner Horizon Television and will return in 2018.
The show, starring Niecy Nash, Carrie Preston, Judy Reyes and Dean Norris, ranks as basic cable's No. 4 new drama this year among the advertiser-coveted adults 18-49 demographic. In renewing Claws, created by Eliot Laurence and executive produced by Rashida Jones, Will McCormack and showrunner Janine Sherman Barrois, TNT noted that the drama is averaging 6.3 million gross viewers, including linear, digital, mobile and on-demand. With seven days of DVR, the show averages 1.1 million viewers in the demo. Additionally, Claws has the youngest audience of any TNT drama, a key statistic given honcho Kevin Reilly's attempt to make TNT known for bold and edgy fare instead of procedurals that previously defined the cabler like Rizzoli & Isles.
