Syfy has ordered a fourth season for its flagship show ‘Warehouse 13,’ according to The Hollywood Reporter. The next season will feature 13 episodes, and will premiere during summer 2012, much like the previous three seasons.

Starring Eddie McClintock and Joanne Kelly, ‘Warehouse 13’ has been a solid performer for Syfy so far this season. So far this year, the show, which was created by Jack Kenny, has averaged 2.3 million total viewers. The high numbers for the basic cable network comes after Aaron Ashmore was cast this season as Steve Jinks.

The news of the renewal comes after Kenny discussed a potential spin-off series starring ‘Warehouse 13’ character H.G. Wells at Comic-Con 2011. He said the project is in the very early planning stages, but Syfy is interested.
