Dollhouse stars Eliza Dushku
The Joss Whedon-scripted drama stars Eliza Dushku as a secret agent whose mind has been wiped so she can be imprinted with any personality her handlers require.
It suffered near-disastrous ratings, and many assumed it would suffer the same fate as its creator’s previous series, Firefly, which was pulled after just 11 episodes.
But, according to The Hollywood Reporter, executives took into account Firefly’s longevity – it has continued to sell well on DVD and spawned a big-screen movie, Serenity – when deciding Dollhouse’s fate.
Producers are also reported to have promised budget cuts to secure a second series.
The show premiered in the UK this week on the Sci-Fi Channel.
