ABC has renewed its summer primetime soap Mistresses for a second season. The series stars Alyssa Milano and is based on a British series.

Mistresses was one of two scripted hits for the broadcast networks this summer, behind CBS’ hit Under The Dome. That series was also renewed for a second season. TheWrap reports that Mistresses never attracted a huge audience, but its Sept. 9 finale scored a decent 3.0 18-49 rating and 3.91 million viewers.

Milano, a very active Twitter user, let her fans know that the show was picked up for another year. She also retweeted the show’s official Twitter page. “Happy to report that #mistresses was picked up for a second season. Thank you for all the love and support. I appreciate you,” she told her fans.

Mistresses is an ABC Studios production. The executive producers include Gossip Girl’s K.J. Steinberg, Gilmore Girls’ Rina Mimoun, Revenge’s Robert Sertner and Douglas Rae.

The LA Times notes that the second season of Mistresses should return in summer 2014.
