Showtime’s series about a women with multiple personalities is getting a second season.

The pay cabler has ordered 12 new episodes of “United States of Tara,” which is set to go back into production this summer and kick off its second campaign early in 2010 with its entire first-season cast intact.

Series has received higher ratings than either “Dexter” or “Weeds” in their first seasons.
