According to Variety, the CW has ordered another season of “Penn & Teller: Fool Us” and “Masters of Illusion” for 2015.
That is great news for magic fans and portends great things for the future of our great art.
Fool Us originally aired ITV in the UK in 2011. The production team edited those episodes and repackaged the shows for the CW’s US broadcast this year.
The series received consistently great ratings and – if you asked us – it was a no-brainer for the network to order a new season.
That’s good news but even better news is that they will need to shoot new shows to meet the CW’s order. Penn Jillette promised if renewed, they would film in the US and with US magicians. We have no doubt he will keep his promise.
“Masters of Illusion” had some fantastic acts in this year’s episodes. We do not know if they will need to tape additional acts to meet the renewal order but will report as soon as we hear.
This is great news indeed.
