'Parenthood' third season extended by NBC

NBC has extended the third season of comedy-drama Parenthood, according to EW.

The network, which renewed Parenthood for a third season back in May, has ordered an additional two episodes - bringing this season's total up to 18.

Parenthood was created by Jason Katims and stars former Six Feet Under actor Peter Krause opposite the likes of Monica Potter, Lauren Graham, and Craig T. Nelson.

Former Gigantic actress Skyler Day recently landed a recurring role on the show's third season as Amy, a love interest for Miles Heizer's character.

Parenthood continues Tuesdays at 10/9c on NBC.
