Twitter'Dollhouse' premiere moves back a week
The second season of "Dollhouse" will begin slightly later than initially planned -- and will face heavier competition as a result.
FOX announced Wednesday (July 8) that it would unveil the second season of Joss Whedon's show on Friday, Sept. 25. That's a week later than the network's original plan, which had "Dollhouse" following the premieres of comedies "Brothers" and "'Til Death" on Sept. 18.
The network instead decided to air an encore of the "Glee" series premiere on Sept. 18. The move also means "Dollhouse" will have to go up against the season premieres of "Medium" on CBS and "Southland" on NBC.
The good news is that Whedon is writing and directing the first episode of the season, which will continue to follow Dollhouse "active" Echo (Eliza Dushku) as she is imprinted with new identities and catches glimpses of her former self.

And why was this show renewed?
Enjoy it while it lasts.
Because the Tivo returns and Hulu viewings were high. Plus the 18-35 age group was strong.
I sense a Rena Moretti rant right around the corner.
Wait for it...
I hope you are wrong. I'd rather stick a fork in my eye than read another one of Rena Moretti's mindless rants!
thank god Whedon is writing and directing the first epi himself! :)
Why is it renewed? Because it is a bloody brilliant show! That's why!
Are they purposely trying to kill off the show? Joss does good work, and they're doing the same thing to this show that they did to Firefly.
I love Joss Whedons shows,but Fox is not his network. I hate to say it but it will be canceled. Fox loves to put shows on Fridays so they can kill it. Look at what happened to Sarah Connor and it has better ratings than Dollhouse and cost less. Joss needs to go back to the CW. Thats his only chance with niche shows.
