In good news for mankind, the People of Earth TV show has been renewed for a second season on TBS. The comedy series follows a reporter and the members of “StarCrossed” — a support group for alien abductees. Wyatt Cenac stars as New York journalist, Ozzie Graham. Although at first, he is skeptical of the group’s claims, he begins to suspect he too has been abducted.

David Jenkins created People of Earth and is a co-executive producer on the series. Ana Gasteyer, Oscar Nuñez, Michael Cassidy, Alice Wetterlund, Luka Jones, Brian Huskey, Nancy Lenehan, Tracee Chimo, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Björn Gustafsson, and Ken Hall also star.

“Twelve months ago we set out to reimagine the TBS brand and its place in the TV landscape. To end 2016 with all six shows returning is humbling,” said Brett Weitz, executive vice president of original programming for TBS. “The amazing teams behind People of Earth and ‪Search Party have created complex, funny characters and crafted truly distinctive stories. Renewing both shows is the perfect end to a transformative year for TBS.”

Season two of People of Earth will premiere in 2017.
