'FLASHFORWARD' GETS A FULL SEASON PICKUP: ABC rewards its new mystery drama after ratings success.

(October 14, 2009)

*Good news for Courtney B. Vance, Gabrielle Union, Lynn Whitfield, Barry Shabaka Henley and the other cast members of ABC's freshman series "FlashForward."

The network has given a full-season pickup to the mystery drama, which has done well in its competitive Thursday-night time slot, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

"FlashForward" was the first regular scripted series since "Friends" to beat CBS' perennial winner "Survivor" with the advertiser-desired 18- to 49-year-old audiences.

The full season pickup includes nine more episodes to tell its core story of a mysterious worldwide two-minute-and-17-second blackout. Joseph Fiennes, John Cho and Sonya Walger also star.
