i'm sorry

TruTV’s foray into scripted sitcoms has proven fruitful and deservingly so thus far. 

Those Who Can’t is humming along to its third season and, just announced yesterday afternoon, Andrea Savage’s I’m Sorry picked up a second season after a positive reception both critically and commercially. 

The second season is slated for 2018. If you add Bobcat Goldthwait’s upcoming anthology series, TruTV could be looking at a very, very solid line-up of scripted comedy series on their programming line-up. 

Do you even remember that TruTV used to deal in reality TV exclusively? Given how well their rebrand has gone, we’re guessing probably not.

TruTV’s progress as a comedy channel seemingly continues to go well as they have ordered a new sitcom from Andrea Savage (Episodes, Hotwives) that follows her actual life. It’s called I’m Sorry and slated for a 2017 premiere and has the likes of Will Ferrell and Adam McKay, as well as Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone, and Akiva Schaffer all as EPs in addition to Savage.

With Better Things, looks like female led sitcoms on cable based on the lives of real comedic actresses might become a trend.
