HBO has decided to remain in the news business a little while longer.

With only two episodes remaining in its second season, The Newsroom has reportedly been renewed for season three.

“It’s official,” tweeted series star Jeff Daniels late Tuesday night. “#Newsroom coming back for a Season 3.”

While HBO has yet to confirm the news, the renewal has pretty much been a foregone conclusion since the Television Critics Association's summer press tour in July, where HBO president Michael Lombardo spoke up about the hit drama. “Conversations with [creator] Aaron Sorkin are all about scheduling as he has other commitments. If we can figure the scheduling, I will be shocked if you would not be hearing about a renewal soon. The numbers this season are surpassing last season.”

The Newsroom's two-part finale begins this Sunday at 10/9c on HBO.
