Fox TV has confirmed that The O.C. has been picked up for a third season.
"We're pleased to give The O.C. a very early pickup," said Fox entertainment president Gail Berman. "The show has performed exceptionally well, achieving hit status on a highly competitive night and giving us a solid anchor on Thursdays."
The series has lost a quarter of its audience since moving to Thursdays, but it has improved ratings in its new timeslot by 70%.
