Hulu Renews ‘Shrill’ for Season 2

Hulu has greenlit comedy “Shrill” for a second season, with an order for eight new episodes. The series is executive produced by Lorne Michaels, Elizabeth Banks, showrunner Ali Rushfield, Lindy West, Andrew Singer of Broadway Video, Max Handelman of Brownstone Productions, and Aidy Bryant. Dannah Shinder of Brownstone Productions will serve as a producer.

Season one of “Shrill” followed Annie (SNL’s Aidy Bryant), an over-weight young woman who wants to change her life — but not her body.

Television, Broadway Video and Brownstone Productions. Warner Bros. International Television Distribution will serve as the international distributor.
