The legal drama starring Simone Missick, which CBS canceled after two seasons in May, has been picked up for a 20-episode third season thanks to a deal between OWN and Warner Bros. TV. The entire cast is coming back, except Marg Helgenberger, who was cast in NBC’s drama pilot Getaway in July. Showrunner Dee Harris-Lawrence, who also oversees OWN's David Makes Man, will also return for Season 3. "Ironically, the (Getaway) pilot cast both Helgenberger and Manifest‘s Matt Long, preventing them from returning full-time to their previous series, which beat the odds to both get uncanceled with new seasons on OWN and Netflix, respectively," says Deadline's Nellie Andreeva. "I hear the door is open to Helgenberger and any other All Rise alums to appear on the new season subject to availability." OWN president Tina Perry says of the pickup: “All Rise has been a great performer, achieving strong ratings and growing its share from season one to two. Featuring a strong character front and center, Judge Lola Carmichael’s story reflects our audience with powerful affirmation. A special thanks to Warner Bros. Television and our incredible showrunner and longtime partner Dee Harris-Lawrence. We can’t wait to get started on season three and bring this show back for long-standing and new fans alike.”
