[Press Release - Released by TNT]

TNT has picked up a second season of its hit medical drama HAWTHORNE, starring and executive-produced by Jada Pinkett Smith (The Women, The Matrix trilogy) and created by Emmy® winner John Masius (St. Elsewhere, Providence, Dead Like Me). The network has ordered an additional 10 episodes of the character-driven drama, which airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. (ET/PT). For its first season, HAWTHORNE is averaging 3.8 million viewers and ranks as ad-supported cable's #1 entertainment program on Tuesdays among adults 25-54 and women 25-54. The second season is slated to air in 2010.

HAWTHORNE co-stars Michael Vartan (Alias), Suleka Mathew (Men in Trees), David Julian Hirsh (Lovebites), Christina Moore (Hyperion Bay) and Hannah Hodson (TNT's The Ron Clark Story). The series is produced for TNT by Sony Pictures Television in association with Pinkett Smith's 100% Womon Productions, John Masius Productions, and Jamie Tarses' FanFare Productions. Pinkett Smith, Masius, Glen Mazzara (The Shield, Crash, Life) and Jamie Tarses (My Boys) serve as executive producers.

"HAWTHORNE has been a great addition to TNT's lineup of original series, and Jada Pinkett Smith's performance has been a tremendous draw with viewers," said Michael Wright, executive vice president, head of programming for TNT, TBS and Turner Classic Movies (TCM). "There are powerful episodes remaining, and we're looking forward to what is certain to be an extraordinary second season."

HAWTHORNE, which premiered Tuesday, June 16, with 4.4 million viewers (Live + 7), is one of six high-profile original dramas populating TNT's Monday-Wednesday lineup this summer. The six series, which include The Closer, Raising the Bar, Saving Grace, Leverage and Dark Blue, are the fulfillment of an aggressive TNT strategy to build a slate of quality original programming in primetime.

Jada Pinkett Smith, Michael Vartan - HawthoRNe

A while back, I attended a press day for TNT's new show HAWTHORNE. Now that you have seen what the show is all about, I thought you might be curious as to what's coming up.

Here are a few things we learned during the interview with Jada Pinkett Smith and Michael Vartan:

- Michael Vartan got involved with the show after he read the script and loved it. Then he also found out that Jada Pinkett Smith was involved and that was it for him. He also mentioned that he found the fact that she was an executive producer very comforting.

- Unfortunately, Jada Pinkett Smith will not write any of the episodes for HawthoRNE. She actually promised herself she wouldn't because she's already doing too many things on the show.

- We will learn more of the backstory between Christina and her mother in law, including what happened with her husband and why there is tension between the two.

- There is going to be an interesting dynamic between Christina and her daughter (and I think we already saw a bit of that in the episodes that already aired).

- The relationship between Christina and Wakefield will shape up and transform.

- And if you're wondering whether Christina will find love again, well Jada Pinkett Smith's answer to that is, "she's going to have to find love."
The question is, could this new love be Wakefield? Jada Pinkett Smith teased us by saying:

"Will [Smith] has given his stamp of approval on Michael [Vartan], so it really can go anywhere" [laughs].

So make sure you tune in on Tuesdays at 9pm and watch HawthoRNe on TNT to find out what happens next.
