HBO has moved to renew A Black Lady Sketch Show for a third season at the premium cable network. After receiving the news, series creator Robin Thede said that she is excited for the next chapter of her “wonderful relationship” with the network.
“I’m honored to continue our incredible series and wonderful partnership with HBO, Issa Rae, JAX Media and our entire producing team,” Rede told Variety.
“I can’t wait to push the show even further in Season 3 and to keep delivering the laugh out loud content our audience loves to see.”
Led by Lauren Ashley Smith, Rae Sanni, Holly Walker and several other talented Black women, A Black Lady Sketch Show has featured Issa Rae, Angela Bassett, Laverne Cox and Nicole Byer. Laci Mosley and Skye Townsend have also joined the cast of the show’s second run.
“Robin continues to break new ground in the world of sketch comedy. She delivered a hilariously sharp second season, and we’re looking forward to seeing where Robin, Issa Rae and the ‘A Black Lady Sketch Show’ team take us in Season 3,” Amy Gavitt of HBO added.
A Black Lady Sketch Show is set to return for its sixth episode of its second season on HBO this Sunday.
