"Kevin Bacon and James Purefoy have given us two of the most compelling characters on television and the entire cast is incredible. I'm delighted to have this thrill ride continue on Fox for another season."

Fox has also renewed comedies 'New Girl', 'The Mindy Project' and 'Raising Hope', with Mr. Reilly adding: "These shows are creatively vibrant, they have established a loyal and passionate audience and they will continue to define and grow the Fox comedy brand next season and beyond."

While 'Glee' is expected to return for a fifth season, negotiations between the network and studio are still ongoing over the comedy musical.
