AMC has announced that it will renew its freshman drama "Halt and Catch Fire." The show garnered modest ratings, pulling in an average of 1.3 million viewers over ten episodes, including 606,000 in the 18-49 demo.

"This is a show about invention, experimentation, and the inherent risks in trying to break new ground - themes that really resonate with us as a network and attracted a passionate audience," said Charlie Collier, AMC president.

"We have a history of demonstrating patience through the early seasons of new shows, betting on talent and building audience over time. We see that opportunity here and look forward to a second season of 'Halt and Catch Fire' from creators Chris Cantwell and Chris Rogers, and showrunner Jonathan Lisco."

"Halt and Catch Fire" centers on four characters attempting to innovate against the changing backdrop of technology and Texas' Silicon Prairie.
