Man Seeking Woman: Season Two Renewal for FXX Series

by Trevor Kimball, March 3, 2015

Man Seeking Woman TV show on FXX: season 2Though the ratings are low, FXX has decided to renew their Wednesday night series Man Seeking Woman for a second season.

Man Seeking Woman takes a sweet yet surreal look at the current world of dating and follows twenty-something Josh Greenberg (Jay Baruchel) on his unrelenting quest for love. His friends and family are played by Eric Andre, Britt Lower, and Maya Erskine.

This comedy series debuted on January 14th with a 0.2 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 326,000 viewers. Viewership then dropped more than 40% in week two.

While the numbers have been up and down over the course of the seven episodes that have aired so far, the ratings have remained quite low. Last month, an episode registered a 0.07 demo rating and 98,000 viewers.

Still, FXX has picked up the series for another season of 10 episodes for 2016, likely hoping that the numbers will improve at some point. The first season finale will air on March 18th.

Updated with the official press release:

FXX Picks Up Second Season of the Show Rolling Stone Calls TV’s Best New Comedy “MAN SEEKING WOMAN”

Half-Hour Comedy Series Starring Jay Baruchel, Created by Simon Rich, from Executive Producers Rich, Jonathan Krisel, Lorne Michaels and Broadway Video’s Andrew Singer Receives 10-Episode Order for Season Two

LOS ANGELES, March 3, 2015 – Man Seeking Woman, the first original comedy series to debut on FXX, has been picked up for a second season, it was announced today by Nick Grad and Eric Schrier, Presidents of Original Programming, FX Networks and FX Productions. The half-hour comedy series from Showrunner and Executive Producer Simon Rich, starring Jay Baruchel and produced by FX Productions, will return with 10 new episodes in 2016.

“Simon Rich has delivered an incredibly smart and original take on the search for love,” Grad said. “Critics and fans alike have embraced his unique storytelling, Jon Krisel’s stunning visuals and the brilliant performances of Jay Baruchel, Eric André and the rest of the cast that has made Man Seeking Woman one of the best new comedies on television.”

Creator Simon Rich said, “Working on Man Seeking Woman has been the creative highlight of my life. FXX gave us the freedom to make the show we love and they let us build some truly disgusting monsters. I’m so grateful to John Landgraf and his team for believing in us and I can’t wait to get back to work.”
