"Murder in the First" season 2 renewal is confirmed as TNT orders for 10 more episodes. Cast Taye Diggs is also working on "Single Urban Dads."

According to TV.com, the "Murder in the First" season 2 renewal airing date will probably be in the next summer.

The series stars Taye Diggs and Kathleen Robertson who work together as San Francisco homicide detectives. The format of the series only asks both English and Mulligan to solve one murder mystery per season.

For the new episodes following the "Murder in the First" season 2 renewal, according to TV.com, "you can expect English and Mulligan to take on a new mystery in Season 2."

"We ultimately slapped a big fat WTF on Season 1 finale, so we can't exactly provide a ringing endorsement," it added.

The TNT network in an announcement said that "Murder in the First" was one of the top 10 cable dramas this summer, although the ratings of the show leave much to be desired. The series reportedly averaged 4.7 million viewers on the first week of viewing, which the website described as "bubble territory.

However, with the announcement of "Murder in the First" season 2 renewal, the ratings "turned out to be good enough for TNT."

Meanwhile, Taye Diggs, who has a five-year-old son named Walker, will be working on a new project called "Single Urban Dads."

"Unfortunately it comes from my personal life. I'm new to being a single urban dad. Having gone through what I've gone through, it's great to get that message out there that there are really good single fathers out there that want to be present, doing the best they can with their children," he told ABC News.

"Murder in the First" cast Taye Diggs separated from Broadway Legend and "Frozen" cast Idina Menzel last year. They have been married for 10 years prior to the split.
