At yesterday's Television Critics Association's fall TV previews, HBO President of Programming Michael Lombardo revealed that a third season of Aaron Sorkin's THE NEWSROOM is in the cards.

"The odds are excellent," said Lombardo. "We're very happy with the show. Honestly the conversations with Aaron this point are all about schedule. I would be shocked if you weren't hearing an announcement soon... We're enormously happy with Newsroom."

The series returned for a second season this month, featuring new stars Marcia Gay Harden, Grace Gummer and Hamish Linklater. Focusing on a network anchor, played by Jeff Daniels, his new executive producer, Emily Mortimer, the newsroom staff, John Gallagher, Jr, Alison Pill, Thomas Sadoski, Olivia Munn, Dev Patel, and their boss, Sam Waterston, the series tracks their quixotic mission to do the news well in The Face of corporate and commercial obstacles, not to mention their own personal entanglements.
