Glad I called this one a week ago: NBC's "Good Girls," shot in metro Atlanta, will return for a second season. Entertainment Weekly broke the story.

The drama about three seemingly normal cash-strapped women who get caught up in a criminal enterprise pulled in decent ratings and beat the competition during its 10 p.m. Monday time slot. The series, which stars Christina Hendricks, Mae Whitman and Retta, is based out of Third Rail Studios in Doraville and is set fictionally in the suburbs of Detroit.

It's the only NBC drama currently produced out of Atlanta. Other NBC scripted shows shot out of Atlanta over the past decade: "Constantine" and "Game of Silence."
