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’m in love with Better Things! We should have more mom’s like her. I wanna grow up and be just like her. WAIT to late my son’s 18 he’s already fucked up.

Better Things season two – woohoo!! Yes, very good news to see this series picked up for a second season; I was hoping it was renewed. FX kudos. -Adam/Dallas
THRILLED that Better things is renewed. Alittle upset and bummed that you can’t watch Season 1 on either FX Networks on line page, nor through Netflix, Amazon Prime, HULU, or Dish FX on Demand.
I love Better Things! I told my daughters to watch it because they will love it too! I even have my calendar set for Thursdays at 10. I’m so glad it wasn’t canceled. Thank you!
I loved this show. I related to it. It felt like Sam was me. I hope this show did not get cancelled.? That would be a disappointment.
Loved season 1. Wish it were longer
So happy this show was renewed for 2nd season! Just watched all episodes on OnDemand and feel in love with this show!!! Can’t wait for second season. Thank you!!!

So happy to hear that “Better Things”has been renewed! It’s a fabulous show.
I have, since The Days and Nights of Molly Dodds, looked for quirky programming. Better Things is a well written comedy offering.
