Four weeks into the new season, and TNT has given its hit summer series a green light for 2014.

The cable network today announced that it is renewing Falling Skies for a fourth season, to air next summer. As with previous years, Season Four will be comprised of 10 episodes.

The show has continued to perform well in its current third season, which premiered to 4.2 million live viewers on June 9, and has averaged 5.8 million weekly with DVR-delayed viewership factored in.
