FX knows a good thing when it has one. Deadline reports the network has renewed Better Things for a second season.
Co-created by Pamela Adlon, the comedy stars the Louie actress as Sam Fox, a working actor and divorced mother trying to raise her three daughters. The cast also includes Mikey Madison, Hannah Alligood, Olivia Edward, and Celia Imrie.
Only two episodes in, Better Things hasn’t received the strongest ratings. So far, it’s earned an average of .26 in the 18-49 demo and 621,000 viewers. However like FX’s other new comedy, Atlanta (which was also just renewed), the show has garnered strong critical praise.
From FX execs Nick Grad and Eric Schrier:
It’s really gratifying to launch two new comedies that have received overwhelming critical acclaim right out of the gate and that are emblematic of FX’s award-winning brand. It is clear to us that Atlanta and Better Things have struck a nerve with viewers, which is a credit to Donald Glover’s vision for Atlanta and Pamela Adlon’s vision for Better Things. They, along with their spectacular casts, writers and directors, have created exceptional shows that we are incredibly proud to produce.”

I really think, in the spiri of this very show, a single mother who doesn’t really have a life Per Se, (jack’d by her daughters) at least would be able to access her one fav show, weekly, on demand. Trust me, if it were,… Read more »
I am a huge fan of Pamela! She had me at, Calofornication!
So when FX released “Better Things” I was thrilled! Pamela definitely hit this Series out of the ball park! She does a phenomenal job at capturing the true essence in the roll as good looking, down to earth, single mother of today! I will be very let down if they would even consider ending this show anytime soon. FX has some very awesome shows and give me something to look forward to watching! Better things is my favorite! I share with everyone I know, please ke them coming!❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love this show. Great storylines, great cast. Hilarious. Sooo happy its beibg renewed for another season.
