Three of Showtime’s biggest hit series, Californication, House of Lies and Shameless, have been renewed by the network, it was announced today.

The three series saw record numbers for their premieres earlier this month.

“Californication, House of Lies and Shameless possess highly distinctive comedic voices, and given that all three continue to grow their audience season after season – the pick-up decision was easy. I am incredibly excited to see what each of these series has in store for their next seasons,” said Showtime entertainment chief David Nevins in a statement. Production for the new seasons of all three Los Angeles-based series will kick-off later this year.

In addition to this renewal news, Showtime is looking to add two new dramas to its lineup later this year: Liev Schreiber’s Ray Donovan, which will run alongside Dexter in June, and Lizzy Caplan’s Masters of Sex, which will be paired with Homeland this September.
