‘Lipstick Jungle’ Extended

Variety reports excellent news today for the ladies of the Lipstick Jungle. Based on strong Nielsen numbers, NBC has ordered an additional six episodes of the Thursday-night, Candace Bushnell dramedy starring Brooke Shields, Kim Raver, and Lindsay Price.

Each week during its 10pm–11pm time slot, Lipstick has led in the ratings among women aged 18 to 49 and women aged 18 to 34. This development means the series will now have the 13 episodes that were originally requested before the first season was shortened to just seven installments due to the writers strike. The new episodes will be for future airing, however, as the series will not shoot anymore episodes for the current season.
