Hopefully you’ve had a chance to catch The CW‘s Arrow, which has now aired two episodes of its freshman series. We’re fans, and we’re not alone; in fact, it has done so well that it has now already received a full season pickup by the network. Here’s how we found out the news:
Best way to start a Monday? Getting picked up for your back nine episodes. Thwick. #Arrow

Crew and cast of #Arrow have full hearts today. Thank you one and all for such a warm response. 22 episodes!! Next goal: (we know)

TVLine has confirmed the news, and also reports that the show’s premiere scored 4.02 million total viewers, the network’s most watched episode of anything in three years. Those numbers only took at 15% drop for the second episode, plenty healthy enough to support the full season pickup.
Here’s a TV spot for tomorrow night’s next episode:
