ABC hasn’t issued an official press release announcing it, but the Twitter account for Cristela says it’s official. The half hour comedy series starring Cristela Alonzo has been given a full season order.

Cristela kicked off its first season run on Friday, October 10, 2014 and has posted good but not outstanding ratings. ABC already cancelled Manhattan Love Story and Selfie, and Cristela could really have gone either way. Fortunately for fans, the series has been saved by the network – at least for its first season – even though it’s only drawing in around 5 million viewers each week after opening to 6.5 million viewers.
