Expectations aren't necessarily high or the sci-fi show on the viewership front; the show ended its third season with just 3.29 million viewers. Shows have performed better and still been cancelled, yet Fringe was renewed. As Reilly explained, big shows like American Idol give FOX the ability to "support creative shows that deserve to be on the air.” And if any network show deserves to be on the air, it's Fringe.
Fringe will return for its fourth season on Friday, September 23, with the season premiere, titled "A Sort of Homecoming."
