Whedon and Eliza Dushku had one very important message for their fans: “We’re here because of you.” Neither hid the fact that Dollhouse was very close to being canceled.

Joss Whedon even joked that Dollhouse was renewed because he found some really talented people to “fudge” the numbers. Enron maybe? He also alluded to TiVo/DVR viewers being the deciding factor in Dollhouse’s renewal. That’s not new news to most, but it’s good news for the upcoming season.

Sci Fi has acquired the UK rights to air season 2 of Dollhouse. The channel will also screen the “unaired” 13th episode, “Epitaph One”, in August.

“We’re thrilled to offer our audience not only all 13 episodes of the first season but also confirmation that Sci Fi has the season two premiere already lined up for later in the year,” said Jon Farrar, programming director for NBC Universal Global Networks in the UK.

He added: “Dollhouse has become a cult hit in the UK and is one of the most talked about and successful show launches of 2009.

“We’ve been relentless in our quest to bring the most entertaining, exciting and in-demand programming to our viewers and Dollhouse has ticked all those boxes and many more.
