"Sons of Anarchy" will continue to roll into 2011.FX said Thursday (Oct. 7) that it's picking up a fourth season of its top-rated show. The new season, due next year, will run for 13 episodes.
"'Sons of Anarchy' is the most popular show FX has ever had, and the No. 1 series in basic cable for our key demographic," FX president and general manager John Landgraf says. "It is also one of the best, most original series on television. FX is grateful to [creator] Kurt Sutter and his team of writers, actors, directors and crew for working so hard to make a show that achieves both those levels of success."
Over the first five episodes of this season, "SOA" has averaged 4.9 million viewers per first-run episode (including DVR viewing), with 3.4 million of those viewers falling into the adults 18-49 demo that FX targets. Factoring in multiple replays each week, the per-episode number grows to 8.6 million viewers and 5.9 million among adults 18-49.
By all counts, it's the highest-rated original series FX has ever had.
Season 3 continues Tuesday (Oct. 12) with SAMCRO trying to protect its territory by dealing with a rat inside St. Thomas.

Great show. Glad to know its officially coming back.
Great drama. Been watching it without fail up until last week. I have Dish Network, so no more FX for me; I'm sure I'll lose Fox in a couple weeks too.
Amazing show. Can't believe Katie Sagal didn't get an Emmy nod. A total travesty.
My fav show of all time. SOoooooo glad its coming back for another season. And I am with dish too. I had to go over to a friend who has directv to watch it.
My new favorite since LOST is gone. Wait, True Blood too!

If their audience is 4.9 million, then why do they not appear on the Top 20 Cable Series, which is found under TV Ratings.
