HBO has renewed freshman dramedies Divorce and Insecure for their second seasons. In addition to this news, the premium cable channel also announced it had picked up season two of Westworld.
Sarah Jessica Parker and Thomas Haden Church star in Divorce. Sharon Horgan created the series which follows Frances (Parker) as she decides to end her marriage of over ten years. Making a clean break and a fresh start is harder than she thought.
HBO Picks Up Second Season of New Shows Divorce and Insecure
Created by Issa Rae and Larry Wilmore, Insecure stars Rae and Yvonne Orji. These best friends must deal with their own real-life flaws as they attempt to navigate different worlds and cope with an endless series of uncomfortable everyday experiences. HBO says, Insecure “explores the contemporary black female experience in an unclichéd and authentic way.”
Casey Bloys, president, HBO Programming announced the renewals. “I am thrilled to announce the pickup of our three fall series, all of which have distinctive, original voices,” said Bloys. “Critics and viewers alike have welcomed Westworld and Insecure, as well as the return of Sarah Jessica Parker to the network after 12 years with Divorce.”
HBO says Divorce and Insecure are averaging 4.4 million and 3.2 million viewers, respectively. The cabler says this puts them on par with other HBO comedies like Veep and Girls.
What do you think? Have you watched either Insecure or Divorce? Will you watch the second season of these HBO TV series? Let us know, below.
Love both “Divorce” and “Insecure”. Both shows have great writers and the best part is that neither show is predictable. Have loved SJP since she was Carrie Bradshaw and I think Issa Rae is both beautiful and brilliant. HBO….thank you for renewing both. These two shows are about the only real reason I keep this channel.
I love insecure, it’s quite a good show, cant wait to see season 2
I really like Divorce. I hated to see the season end. Please bring it back soon. It’s great!
Insecure is my new obsession. I’m on pens and needles waiting on season two. I am hooked!
I really liked Divorce in the beginning but it started to get boring at the end. Insecure was boring in the beginning but got good at the end. HBO better not have me waiting a year for some new episodes.
I am enjoying the HBO series Divorce, I binge watched the first five episodes and found myself really growing to like the characters and writing.
Exactly how I feel. Divorce just keeps on getting better. Love the writing and the characters.
Thomas Hayden church is hilarious!
