CBS Orders Second Season of Unforgettable after Canceling the Series

It doesn't happen often, but a television network has uncanceled — we're reasonably sure that isn't a word, but does accurately describe the action — a series. Specifically, and in this instance, CBS has changed its mind about Unforgettable, and has ordered 13 episodes to air during Summer 2013.

The series stars Poppy Montgomery as Carrie Wells, an enigmatic former police detective with a rare condition that makes her memory so flawless that every place, every conversation, every moment of joy and every heartbreak is forever embedded in her mind. It's not just that she doesn't forget anything — she can't; except for one thing: the details that would help solve her sister's long-ago murder.
