NBC Renews PARENTHOOD, Orders Final Season of 30 ROCK

TVLine.com reports that NBC has renewed PARENTHOOD for a 15-episode fourth season while 30 ROCK is due back for a seventh and final season of 13 episodes. The news comes as the network is about to reveal its 2012-13 lineup on Monday.

"Parenthood" - which only aired 18 episodes during its third season - will join fellow returning dramas "Grimm," "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" and "Smash" while "30 Rock" is NBC's first comedy officially set to return next season.

Multiple award-winning comedy 30 ROCK is told through the comedic voice of Emmy and two-time Golden Globe winner Tina Fey as variety show producer Liz Lemon. The series also features two-time Emmy and three-time Golden Globe winner Alec Baldwin as top network executive Jack Donaghy and Emmy nominee Tracy Morgan as Tracy Jordan, the unpredictable star of Lemon’s hit variety show, "TGS with Tracy Jordan." Lemon constantly has her hands full, juggling corporate interference from Donaghy and off-the-handle star antics from Jordan, all while attempting to salvage her own personal life.

Also rounding out the cast are three-time Emmy nominee Jane Krakowski as Jenna Maroney, the co-star of "TGS"; Scott Adsit as the variety show's producer Pete Hornberger; Emmy nominee Jack McBrayer as Kenneth, the over-eager and effortlessly endearing NBC page; Judah Friedlander as Frank, the sardonic slacker on the writing staff; and Keith Powell as Toofer, the sophisticated yet sarcastic, Harvard-alum writer.
