ABC has ordered four more episodes of its legal drama Eli Stone.

The network extended its order to 17 episodes prior to seeing the ratings for Tuesday's season two premiere.

Executive producer and co-creator Marc Guggenheim told Entertainment Weekly: "It's an incredible vote of confidence. I had told [ABC] that in order to keep production rolling, I would need to know by Wednesday [if they wanted more].

"I figured at the very least that would give them a day's worth of ratings to analyse. And they were like, 'Nope, we'll just order them now.'"

Eli Stone revolves around a lawyer (Jonny Lee Miller) who becomes a modern-day prophet experiencing precognitive visions.
