HBO's Big Love renewed for season 5

HBO is throwing more support behind their boy Bill Henrickson.

The cable network's fourth year drama "Big Love", which follows the polygamist Henrickson family, has been renewed for a fifth season.

The series, starring Bill Paxton, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Ginnifer Goodwin and Chloe Sevigny -- who won a Golden Globe for her work on the show last month -- pulled 1.7 million viewers for its January season premiere and has continued to attract strong numbers over the last three weeks.

The Henricksons -- who are currently supporting Bill (Paxton) as he runs for state office -- seem to be falling apart at the seams as Bill's ambition has begun to take over.

It's a darker storyline for the series, one we now know that viewers will definitely get to see through.
