NEW YORK, March 20, 2017 – The ad men of the Motor City keep their creativity flowing as Comedy Central has renewed Detroiters for a second season, it was announced today by Kent Alterman, President, Comedy Central.

“Sam and Tim’s sweet, goofy friendship is so infectious, we’ve noticed people being nicer to each other,” said Alterman. “Perhaps we’ll set season two in D.C.”
The Hollywood Reporter praised Detroiters as “savvy and funny in many ways…Tim Robinson, Sam Richardson and the city of Detroit shine…” The series, currently in its first season airing Tuesdays at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT, stars real life best friends Sam Richardson, from Detroit, and Tim Robinson, from Metro Detroit, as small-time ad men in the Motor City.
Whatever they do, they do it together. And no matter what happens, Sam and Tim’s love for each other and their city never wavers. Jason Sudeikis appears in a narrative arc as a successful Chrysler brand executive whom Richardson and Robinson relentlessly pursue in an effort to land their first big-time client.

What do you think? Have you been watching the first season of the Detroiters TV series? Did you expect it to be cancelled or renewed for season two?
I love this show. Original and funny, and finally a show that doesn’t play off the negativity of Detroit. Detroit is on the rise and this show is spotlighting that fact. I hope it continues for years!
