‘Fringe’ fans rejoice, Fox has picked up a fourth season of the drama, renewing it for another 22 episodes.

“Fringe was picked up!!!! Thanks Fringedom!”, tweeted, J.H Wyman, one of the show’s executive producers to his fans, yesterday.

“Whew! And thanks to Fringe-rs everywhere!!!!” said co-creator J.J Abrams about the pickup.

The show was in danger of not being picked up for a fourth season after it had modest ratings last season with star Joshua Jackson saying, “I’m a positive person in general, but we really need our ‘Fringe’ fans to tune in and watch us on Fridays,” he said.

Last Friday, the show faced its lowest-ever ratings, dropping to 13 percent and 3.8 million viewers in the adult demographic, reports Entertainment Weekly. Despite this, the show is the number one on Fox Friday night and improved the network’s average for that night by 38 percent.

The show first began airing September 9, 2008 on Tuesday night and moved to Thursday night at 9 p.m the following season, reports the Hollywood Reporter. In mid-January, the network moved ‘Fringe’ from the highly competitive Thursdays to the almost empty Friday nights, and has since then lost viewership, moving from an average of 6.3 million viewers  to 4.1 million viewers on Friday nights. Even if viewership is down, the show ranks high on DVR playbacks.

News that Fox renewed the show for another season quickly circulated the web with fans very excited, “I predicted back about two-three months ago that Fringe would get renewed. The writing and the actors are superb. I am very happy, excited and telling everyone to watch this show,” said a fan on EW.

“We did it! A big thumbs up to all of us ‘Fringe’ fans! And a huge THANK YOU to Fox!!! GREAT NEWS!!!!!!!! Thank you for keeping intelligent programming on the air!” wrote another fan on the Hollywood Reporter’s board.

“YES!!!!! Finally FOX gets it right. Fringe is one of the best shows on television. And Susan is right, let’s get John Noble an Emmy nomination!” said another fan at Deadline.
