That’s usually what networks do now. They test the waters and see how it’s received. If it does well, they’ll order a full season of 10-13 episodes. If it does extremely well (rare) and they’re very confident, they’ll order a 2nd season. Otherwise, after the 10-13 episodes, they’ll examine the results and determine whether a 2nd season will happen. Spartacus was an extremely rare case where the network was so confident after just the screenings (before it had even aired a single episode) that they ordered a second season right away.
