The network said on Thursday its musical drama series has been picked up for a second season.
Smash is a much-heralded blend of backstage insights and song-and-dance numbers that debuted in the US in February.
While it's not a ratings smash in America it has won critical praise and a healthy-size audience averaging 7.7 million viewers.
Series stars include Debra Messing, Anjelica Huston and Katharine McPhee as players in the unrelenting world of Broadway theatre.
