“Two and a Half Men” fans should wear their best smile as CBS has renewed their favourite show for a 10th season. Alan, Jake and Walden will be coming back next year and that's not a surprise if you consider this seasons ratings.

Jon Cryer, Angus T. Jones and Ashton Kutcher, who replaced Charlie Sheen in the 9th season after his last year's bad public behaviour, reached new deals with the network and will reprise their roles.

This season, it has averaged a 5.2 rating/13 share in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic, a 27 percent improvement over the previous season, and 15 million total viewers.

The ninth season premiere of “Two and a Half Men” in September featuring Kutcher's initial appearance drew a jaw-dropping 27.7 million total viewers, and a 10.3/24 in the demo.

CBS has also renewed 18 of its other series, including “How I Met Your Mother”, “2 Broke Girls”, “Mike & Molly” and “The Big Bang Theory”.

Charlie Sheen returns to “Two and a Half Men” in... Kathy Bates form!

At the beginning of the 9th season of “Two and a Half Men” last fall, Charlie Sheen's character Charlie Harper was killed off the show, but it seems that the creator Chuck Lorre can't live without him for very long. So, for the Aprils 30 episode, Charlie Haprer returns... as a ghost! And not only Charlie Sheen wont play the role, but in fact a female actress and almost 20 years older than him will visit Alan.

As CBS announced on Monday, “Harry's Law” star Kathy Bates will guest on the show as Charlie Harper's ghost. In the episode, Jon Cryer's character Alan Harper suffers a minor heart attack, and is visited by Harper's ghost in the hospital.

Although Sheen was very lovable by the audience, his bizarre behavior off-screen and the insults towards Lorre made the last one decide to cut him off the hit series, by making him fall in front of a train in France, implying that he was pushed by his bride Rose, after she caught him with another woman, in the first episode. Sheen was replaced by Ashton Kutcher, who plays heartbroken internet billionaire Walden Schmidt.
