Amazon Renews “Transparent” for 2nd Season

October 9, 2014

amazon, jill soloway, renewed, transparent

Even though it’s late in the year, Jill Soloway‘s Transparent has become one of the most talked about series of 2014 and rightfully so.

Thus, it should come as no shock to any of you that Amazon has picked it up for a second season to come some time in 2015 and making it exclusive to Amazon Prime.

Let’s all hope this is the start on a path for Amazon to foster and bring in more original, great comedies, especially since there have been rumors that they’re willing to shell out the cash for them.

Though it’s been around two years since its last episode, The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret is now set to return next year for its 3rd season.

IFC has just announced the renewal, though the return of the whole cast has yet to be confirmed.

Yesterday, Twin Peaks was announced to return after decades off the air and today, The Increasingly Poor Decision of Todd Margaret got renewed after a two year hiatus. Let your imagination run wild with what could possibly get renewed tomorrow after a long “break”.

FX Renews “You’re The Worst” and “Married” Renewed

September 30, 2014

fx, married, renewed, you're the worst

When it comes to gritty, real-life relationship comedy series, FX seems to have it figured out. The award winning Louie leads that charge after four seasons, freshman series You’re The Worst and Married are now getting 13 episode second seasons.

However, You’re the Worst will be moving to FXx for that second season.

This might follow some sort of logic when you take into account that FXx skews younger and You’re the Worst is follows the beginning of a relationship while Married and Louie on FX are all about what happens as a result of long term relationships.

Despite Netflix being shut out of being recognized as a winner in any Emmy category this year, the online streaming giant is pushing forward with their own agenda.

Their first order of business today: give Bojack Horseman a second season.

Netflix’s first original animated comedy series hasn’t even gone a week since its release before getting the order from another season, but we’re happy either way to hear more of Will Arnett voicing a sitcom horse as well as having a stellar cast including Aaron Paul, Amy Sedaris, Alison Brie, and Paul F. Tompkins.

Chris Hardwick Announces @midnight Renewed for 2015

If you were potentially worried that you might not get to see the index finger of Chris Hardwick point to any number of comedians while yelling out “Points!” in 2015, then potentially worry no more.

As Hardwick stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, he announced that the midnight hit at Comedy Central “@midnight” has been picked up for another year at Comedy Central and will run through 2015.

Chris and Jimmy also joked about the possibility of doing a crossover episode with this renewal, but we wouldn’t be surprised at all if The Tonight Show and “@midnight” despite their time slot conflict, did some sort of crossover.

They’ve done some crazy things on “@midnight” in case you haven’t regularly watched it.

‘Welcome To Sweden’ Renewed For Season 2 at NBC

Following suit by being picked up for a second season in Sweden, Welcome to Sweden has now been picked up for a second season at NBC. It’s been a good sign for some of NBC’s freshman comedies with this renewal along with NBC renewing Undateable last week.

Still, NBC’s fall comedy line-up (Bad Judge, Marry Me, Mysteries of Laura, A to Z) has yet to premiere and survive the gauntlet of their first season.

NBC Renews Undateable for 2nd Season

After the cancellation streak NBC had several weeks ago, Undateable comes through to get a 2nd season.

So, you’ll get to see more of Brent Morin, Rick Glassman, Ron Funches (who you might remember from his Tonight Show set earlier today), and Chris D’Elia on your TV and the side of your local buses.

Comedy Central Renews Drunk History and Nathan For You

Both Drunk History and Nathan For You just got picked up for their third seasons at Comedy Central only after a few weeks into their second seasons.

On their night, we’ll still maintain that Drunk History, Nathan For You combined with The Daily Show, The Colbert Report, and “@midnight” is one of the most solid blocks of comedy on TV right now and will thankfully be that way in the future.

Cartoon Network Renews Adventure Time

Amidst announcing renewing several series such as Clarence (even after dismissing the series creator) and Regular Show, Cartoon Network is renewing their generation gap defying show and Emmy winning Adventure Time for its seventh season.

The news was announced at Comic Con during a panel and we’re sure this is just the start of a sea of big announcements this weekend.

FX Renews Louie for a 7 Episode Fifth Season

The fifth season of Louie has officially been ordered and we won’t have to wait over a year for the season premiere. Next spring, Louis C.K. will have his next batch of episodes rolled out.

However, there will be only 7 episodes for this fifth season, which makes us wonder if they all will just be a half hour long (i.e. maybe they’ll be longer?).

NBC Renews Last Comic Standing for 9th Season

NBC Renews Last Comic Standing for 9th Season

Last Comic Standing did well enough in its return that NBC has decided to bring it back next summer for a ninth season. There are no details as to whether it will be different this next time from the current season, but we’ll see who the judges will be in the next few months.

Adult Swim Renews “Children’s Hospital” For Sixth Season

Adult Swim Renews “Children’s Hospital” For Sixth Season

Considering how damn funny Children’s Hospital is and the fact that it’s one of Adult Swim’s only shows to win an Emmy, we’re glad to see that they are very deservedly getting a sixth season.

Hopefully, they’ll hit syndication very soon.

Jerry Seinfeld’s “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee” Getting Four More Seasons

This means that there will currently be 9 seasons of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee with Jerry Seinfeld. Seasons 4 and 5 have already been ordered before this announcement came through, which has us curious if Seinfeld has something big in store over the next several episodes.

Whatever it is, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee probably now stands as one of the most successful web series of all time.

HBO Renews ‘Veep’ and ‘Silicon Valley’

That’s right, HBO is re-upping both Veep and Silicon Valley. The two fantastic comedy series will be getting a 4th season and a 2nd season respectively as they completely deserve.

This news also kicks off a week where Last Week Tonight with John Oliver premieres on HBO. So, you probably know this or have just figured it out, but HBO is on a roll with comedy.

Parks and Recreation Renewed For 7th Season

Parks and Recreation Renewed For 7th Season

Amidst NBC’s numerous moves to reconfigure their comedy branding over the last couple of years, we’re glad to see that Parks and Recreation is sticking around for a seventh season.

Just in case you didn’t know, Greg Daniels and Michael Schur are killing it with their sitcom track record and have been doing so for awhile now.

Fox Renews Brooklyn Nine-Nine For Second Season

Fox Renews Brooklyn Nine-Nine For Second Season

Very few shows get to say that they’re an award winning show and that they’ve just got picked up for a second season, but that’s the case for Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

You got to be pretty damn good for that happen, so maybe you should give it a watch.

Girls Renewed for Season 4

With a 3rd season nearing it’s premiere and the order for a 4th season just ordered, we’re wondering if HBO just likes seeing what Lena Dunham will go for each season with Girls before renewing it.

Either way, we’re glad to get more Girls coming for the next year or so.

TBS Renews The Pete Holmes Show for 13 Weeks

Many of you we were wondering what the word was on The Pete Holmes Show when it went on hiatus last year.

Luckily, the word is “renewal”.

The Pete Holmes Show just got picked up for 13 more weeks and returns to TBS on Feb. 24th, incidentally (or not so incidentally) the same day as Late Night with Seth Meyers premieres.

Fox Renews ‘The Simpsons’ For 26th Season

The Simpsons have been running for so long, it’s weird to even think that they are getting renewed as opposed to just assuming they’ll just keep being on air (even with talk of the show bowing out relatively soon).

Either way, we’re looking forward to more guest directing of the opening credits.

‘Bob’s Burgers’ Renewed For a 5th Season

‘Bob’s Burgers’ Renewed For a 5th Season

It would seem Fox has another animated franchise hit on their hands and Bob’s Burgers would be not far off from from syndication on multiple networks.

Maybe, they’ll retake over that one Fatburger as a real life Bob’s Burger again.
