LOS ANGELES, March 26 (UPI) -- TBS announced Tuesday it has ordered a 13-episode fifth season of "Cougar Town," the Florida-set sitcom starring Courteney Cox, to air next year.

"'Cougar Town' has been everything we hoped it would be: a smart, big-hearted, laugh-out-loud comedy that shines a bright light on the TBS brand," Michael Wright -- president and head of programming for TBS, TNT and Turner Classic Movies -- said in a statement. "This season, the brilliant cast and immensely creative production team on 'Cougar Town' have crafted their best episodes yet, and we couldn't be happier inviting them back for more."

The show's Season 4 finale is to air April 9.
