It looks like Neil and his team are getting another chance to straightened out Los Angeles. NBC has renewed the Mr. Mayor TV show for a second year which will likely start airing during the 2021-22 television season.

A single-camera comedy series, the Mr. Mayor TV show stars Ted Danson, Holly Hunter, Vella Lovell, Mike Cabellon, Kyla Kenedy, and Bobby Moynihan. The story follows Neil Bremer (Danson), a retired and wealthy businessman who runs for mayor of Los Angeles for all of the wrong reasons — just to prove that he’s “still got it.” Once he wins, Neil has to figure out what he stands for and gain the respect of his staff and his biggest critic and political rival, Arpi Meskimen (Hunter). At the same time, he also wants to connect with his rebellious teenage daughter, Orly (Kenedy).

Airing on Thursday nights, the first season of Mr. Mayor averages a 0.52 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 3.42 million viewers in the live+same day ratings. The nine episodes finished airing in February.

Here’s the announcement from NBC:
