The Amber Ruffin Show is not leaving Friday nights anytime soon. Peacock has renewed the late-night series through September. A topical comedy program, the show airs once a week and launched in September 2020.

Peacock revealed more about the renewal in a press release.

“Peacock’s critically acclaimed late-night series THE AMBER RUFFIN SHOW will continue running through September, marking a full year run for season one.

The WGA nominated series is currently streaming on Peacock with new episodes dropping every Friday.

“Amber Ruffin’s unique brand of comedy and effervescent personality allow her to shine on Peacock week after week,” said Katie Hockmeyer, Executive Vice President, Late Night Programming, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming. “Each episode raises the bar with a variety of sketch material that is both culturally relevant and hilarious. We are so fortunate to have Amber at the forefront as Peacock paves the way for late-night in the streaming space.”

THE AMBER RUFFIN SHOW showcases Amber’s signature smart and silly take on the week’s news. No matter what’s happening in the world, Amber responds to it with a charming mix of seriousness, nonsense, and evening gowns. THE AMBER RUFFIN SHOW is a topical late-night show with just the good parts – the comedy.
