Hulu’s latest string of comedies seem to be working quite well for them. The critical praise that has been thrown at both PEN15 and Ramy shows that Hulu might be on to something with their original comedy productions.
So, with that in mind, both PEN15 and Ramy just got orders for a second season and we can only hope that Hulu keeps this new wave of their comedy that they’ve got going.
Many of you don’t even know the greatness that’s about to come with Guy Branum’s Talk Show the Game Show being made into a TV show, but, hopefully, you’ll know soon enough thanks to TruTV.
Today, via press release, TruTV announced its upcoming slate of programming and development that happened to have plenty of things that have us excited for the network in 2017.
With a Trump Administration looming, Adam Conover and his ‘bigly’ tendency to ruin things will be very nice to have for a sixteen episode second season of Adam Ruins Everything.
Guy Branum’s Talk Show the Game Show is a competitive talk show where guests have to compete to be the best, most interesting guest dealing with the sharp wit of host Guy Branum. It’s a gem here in LA that we’ve enjoyed for years and we can’t wait for the rest of the country to see what happens when guests can just rely on the story of their weird ride to the airport to get through a late night segment.
Sketch duo Austin Martinez got to incubate on Rachel Dratch’s Late Night Snack on TruTV and will now get upgraded to developing a series of their own. An animated family marijuana dispensary comedy from Martin Starr and Matt Bush is also in development.
In addition to that upcoming Bobcat Goldthwait anthology series, TruTV could have a pretty great 2017.

It probably isn’t the whole reason, but it almost seems like HBO might have partially waited to order season 2 for wordplay.
HBO has opted to go for a second season of the geopolitical crisis comedy “The Brink” with Jack Black and Tim Robbins. Unfortunately, one of the series’ executive producer Jerry Weintraub passed away recently and was unable to share in the good news.
The order comes just in the nick of time before the attached stars had the option to go for other projects.
Perhaps, Jack Black’s plea while on Conan worked?

The Simpsons have just extended their already legendary run as a series by two seasons.

As there are literally hundreds and hundreds of episodes of The Simpsons, it’s a good thing that Simpsons World exists.
Archer Getting Two More Seasons at FXx
With how tight networks keep their leashes on their shows, it’s surprising to hear that a show will even get renewed much less get an order for two seasons.
That’s how good Archer on FXx is and hopefully they’ll make it to double digit season territory not too far from now.
