The Amber Ruffin Show is returning for a second season. Peacock has ordered more episodes of the topical late-night series featuring the comedian. The first season’s finale will be released this Friday and season two is set to launch on October 8th.
Peacock revealed more about the series in a press release.
“Peacock’s Emmy-nominated late-night series THE AMBER RUFFIN SHOW has been renewed for a second season.
“We are thrilled to keep doing what we love for another season,” said host, writer and executive producer Amber Ruffin. “Margaritas for everyone!”
Season one of the critically-acclaimed series – which recently welcomed a live studio audience – will conclude this Friday, September 17. Season two will begin on Friday, October 8, with all-new episodes dropping every Friday.
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 bowties. THE AMBER RUFFIN SHOW is a topical late-night show with just the good parts – the comedy.
Recently, Peacock and Back Lot Music released The Amber Ruffin Show “Music From The Original Series.” Over 40 songs from the show are featured including hits songs “Bore Me,” “I Don’t Wish Him Well,” “20 Dollars More,” and “White Supremacists Facing Consequences Fills Me With Joy.” All songs are available now everywhere digital music is sold and streamed.
