Notably, Pamela Adlon will be playing a single mom/working actress named Sam, which means she’s a completely different working single mom than the one on Louie just named Pamela.

From what we’ve seen so far, Better Things does look like a spiritual sequel to Louie and Adlon added that “I feel that everything is funny in my life and there is a lot of funny in the darkness…I don’t like anything that’s dark without heart.”
