Back on May, we reported that FOX had dropped the axe on Breaking In, and since we heard this terrible news, RosenbaumMedia as well as all the fans faught hard to bring it back from the dead, and it seems that everyone’s effort didn’t go unnoticed since Fox has finally decided to reverse their decision to cancel Breaking In and had renewed the freshman sitcom for a second season. The 13 episodes are expected to begin airing mid-season at a night and time to be determined.

If you recall, Breaking In debuted in early April to a healthy 3.5 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 9.82 million total viewers. With the exception of the fact that it lost a large percentage of the American Idol lead-in, that looked very good. The following week, the series fell 26% to a 2.6 rating and 7.79 million viewers.

Ratings fell a bit after that but seem to have evened off at a 2.4 rating. It’s the sixth highest-rated scripted series currently on the network and outperforms the network’s other two live-action comedies. Of course, it also has the best lead-in audience on television.

Here’s the official — and uncharacteristically brief — press release from FOX about the renewal:

HOT FROM FOX…

“BREAKING IN” SECURES SECOND SEASON ON FOX

FOX has renewed the comedy series BREAKING IN for a 13-episode second season to return to the network’s schedule in 2012, it was announced today by Kevin Reilly, President of Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company.

“BREAKING IN is a creatively vibrant and wildly adventurous comedy,” said Reilly. “We are looking forward to bringing it back for a second season and continuing our relationship with this incredibly talented cast and these fantastic creators – Adam Goldberg and Seth Gordon. We can’t wait to see where they take these characters next year.”

Created by Adam F. Goldberg (“Fanboys”) and Seth Gordon (“Horrible Bosses”), BREAKING IN is a workplace comedy about a high-tech security firm that takes extreme – and often questionable – measures to sell their protection services. The series centers on a team of uniquely skilled oddball geniuses hand-picked to work for OZ, a manipulative mastermind played by Christian Slater. The series also stars Bret Harrison, Alphonso McAuley and Odette Annable.

BREAKING IN is produced by Happy Madison Productions, Adam F. Goldberg Productions and Sethsquatch, Inc. in association with Sony Pictures Television. Goldberg, Gordon and Doug Robinson (“Rules of Engagement”) serve as executive producers.

Shortly after Fox made its official press release, Michael Rosenbaum shared his excitement with his fans on his Twitter page :

Wow! Breaking In is picked up! Miracles do happen. Congrats to my awesome cast and pal @adamfgoldberg
