Not even a Charlie Sheen-less season of Two and a Half Men could stop the hit show from pressing on. 

CBS announced Saturday it will renew the show following the comedy's successful ninth season, which nabbed impressive ratings and attracted millions of viewers even after one heck of a drama-filled shakeup with its former star.

News of CBS' announcement comes after new agreements were reached with Warner Bros. Television and the show's stars, Ashton Kutcher, Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones.

In its current season, Two and a Half Men ranked second in prime-time comedies for viewers and adults 25-54 and third among adults 18-49. Ratings were also up from season eight by 13 percent.

The series is the fifth comedy to join CBS's renewal ranks, with How I Met Your Mother, 2 Broke Girls, Mike & Molly and The Big Bang Theory also all gearing up for additional seasons as well.
