Wilfred is an American adaptation of the Australian series of the same name. It was co-created by Jason Gann, who also plays the title character in both versions. Production on the new season is scheduled to begin in the spring. The show is scheduled to return in June 2013.
The second season of Wilfred brought in an average of 2.63 million viewers a week. It also pulled a 1.71 in the target demo of adults 18–49. Apparently, that was enough to keep FX happy.
