"Another Period" is back for another season in 2018

Ensemble comedies are definitely this writer's kryptonite. Any movie or show with a big, varied cast that can manage to make it all work with comedy is a plus. Comedy Central's Another Period is one of the better ensemble comedies on TV. 

While they didn't have a new season in 2017, Another Period will return in early 2018. The network released a trailer for the Natasha Leggero and Riki Lindhome created show. Faces new and old are on the featured slate including Kate Berlant, John Early, Jemaine Clement, Andy Kindler, Patton Oswalt, Chelsea Peretti, Paul Scheer.

We reviewed the second season of the show and liked every single episode.

Another Period season 3 airs on Tuesday, January 23 at 10:30 PM.

'Another Period' is getting another period

Horrible puns aside, Comedy Central's hit show about a Kardashian-like family living in the early 1900's is getting a second season. Created and produced by stars Riki Lindhome and Natasha Leggero, Another Period is a wonderful hit the network. Comedy Central's Original Programming President Kent Alterman says the show is "beautiful reflection of a great American truth: the more things change, the more they stay the same." The first season is still going strong and includes an alluring supporting cast with David Wain, Michael Ian Black, Lauren Ash, Paget Brewster, Jason Ritter, Beth Dover and two dozen others.

Lindhome and Leggero tease 'Another Period'

Riki Lindhome and Natasha Leggero's new Comedy Central show, Another Period, is premiering soon. Today, the network has released a teaser to get you all hyped up. But it's just a teaser so you shouldn't get too hyped. The show will follow the Bellacourt sisters (Lindhome and Leggero), the Original Ballers. The 1902 based show was picked up to series last summer and the pilot includes famous faces like Michael Ian Black and Thomas Lennon. Another Period airs Tuesday, June 23rd at 10:30 PM.

“‘Why? With Hannibal Buress’ - (Series Premiere) - 10:30 PM

’Why? With Hannibal Buress’ celebrates Buress’ hilariously brilliant off-beat voice and point-of-view. If it’s in the zeitgeist, Buress will address it, providing his unique perspective on each week’s topic, answering the burning questions on his mind through stand-up, filmed segments, man-on-the-street interviews and special, in-studio guests. “Why? With Hannibal Buress” will be a weekly, half-hour series shot in front of a studio audience and each episode will tape the same week it airs. The series is executive produced by Buress, Jeff Stilson (“The Chris Rock Show,” “Da Ali G Show”) and Dave Becky of 3 Arts Entertainment.”

“‘Another Period’ - (Series Premiere) - 10:30 PM

Before others claimed their fame, there was one American family that stood for all that was spoiled, shameless and stupid. Meet the Bellacourts – Newport, RI’s first family of the Gilded Age. They are The Original Ballers. They have tons of money, live in a big-ass mansion and employ a whole team of Fonzworth Bentleys. However, the Bellacourts’ servants have to do a lot more than hold umbrellas.

The original out of touch reality family is coming to Comedy Central in “Another Period,” a turn-of-the-century historical and satirical scripted series that follows the insanely ridiculous and debaucherous life of the Bellacourts, who have more servants than relatives and whose days are filled with money, sex, drugs and more money. “Another Period” centers on the Bellacourt sisters, Lillian (Natasha Leggero) and Beatrice (Riki Lindhome), who only care about being rich and becoming super famous (which is a lot harder in 1902).”

Comedy Central Orders Another Period, Idiotsitter And Renews Like Some Many Shows

Comedy Central has made up its mind on several shows today.

First, it ordered the Natasha Leggero (Ugly Americans; My dreams) and Riki Lindhome (Garfunkel in Garfunkel and Oates; Hell Baby) comedy, Another Period to series. The show follows the adventures of two sisters in Newport, Road Island. They are self centered and shallow, only worrying about their popularity status in the world. The thing that separates this show from any show on E! is that it takes place in 1902. The pilot includes many famous faces including Tom Lennon and Michael Ian Black. It looks to be a winner.

The second show is Idiotsitter from the minds of Charlotte Newhouse and Jillain Bell (Workaholics). It follows a straight laced nanny (Newhouse) who is hired to babysit a rich-lady womanchild (Bell) who happens to be under house arrest. The interesting thing about this show is that it is the second digital series produced by CC Studios to make its way to the slightly larger screen. It must be insanely funny if it can get an upgrade like this. Watch the original series here.

The big C also renewed a few of my favorite shows. Thanks guys! Inside Amy Schumer, Review, and Trip Tank are all continuing life on the comedy network. Each are getting a third, second and whopping 20 episode second season respectively.
