Well I'd imagine YBITR will get a 6-8 episode order for next year. But remember, this effectively takes the place of DOI (albeit a far shorter run) which was cancelled. Unless that returns next year, I think they'll probably still be looking at other projects for him given the evidently limited lifespan left on The Cube.
Especially as YBITR seems to have done so well (against the odds) with no other name talent apart from him. Whether he's a draw or he just picks his projects well, his track record is pretty decent.
