Episode guide ~ Season 2
On 7 February 2012 Shaw announced that they had renewed Bomb Girls and were commissioning 12 episodes instead of the 6 that the first season had. What is that little bit odd is a mini-series being renewed. And if renewed is it really a mini-series? According to the Shaw press release it is still considered a mini-series and it will have a second season. Most folk would just call that a normal show.
