NEW YORK, December 4, 2014 – The long wait is almost over! “Broad City” is coming back with a new season of ten episodes that will see Abbi and Ilana dealing with a slew of everyday challenges and adventures as they live their lives in New York City, including: Abbi’s Bed, Bath And Beyond obsession; technology overload; a special romance; Ilana’s family; and holding down their jobs at Soulstice and Deals, Deals, Deals. The season two premiere of “Broad City” debuts on Wednesday, January 14 at 10:30 p.m. ET/PT, following the season five premiere of “Workaholics.”
Courtesy of the collective brains of and starring Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer, “Broad City” is an odd couple comedy about two best friends navigating their twenties in New York City whose adventures always lead down unexpected and outlandish paths. They’re broke, flawed and don’t shy away from the sticky situations NYC throws at them – they dive right into the muck. But no matter how bad it gets, these young broads are always down with whatever hits them.
Joining Jacobson and Glazer as series regulars are Hannibal Buress, Arturo Castro, Paul Downs, John Gemberling, Chris Gethard and Stephen Schneider.
Described as “one of this season’s best new comedies” by Rolling Stone, their dynamic relationship, combined with their impeccable comedic timing and chemistry, has earned Jacobson and Glazer universal praise from fans and critics alike, including nominations for “Best Comedy Series” by the Broadcast Television Journalists Association and Logo’s “New Now Next Awards.”
In the season two premiere entitled “In Heat,” featuring guest stars Seth Rogen and Kumail Nanjiani, Abbi and Ilana try to survive the sultry, sweaty days of New York City, hunt down an air conditioner, and find a last minute birthday gift for Lincoln.
The second season of “Broad City” is executive produced by Jacobson and Glazer, along with Amy Poehler, 3 Arts’ Dave Becky, Avalon’s Sam Saifer and Jax Media’s Tony Hernandez. Eric Slovin serves as Co-Executive Producer. Brooke Posch is the Executive in Charge of Production for Comedy Central.
For a sneak peak at the new season and to catch up with Abbi and Ilana in the “Hack Into Broad City” web series, fans can go to the “Broad City” website and ‘like’ the show on Facebook to see new preview clips leading up to the January 14th premiere.

As season two rolls out, fans can get even more with a new digital series featuring Abbi’s boss at Soulstice called “Body By Trey” and a series of video diaries from Ilana’s Deals, Deals, Deals desk mate Nicole. Episodes from “Broad City’s” second season will be available in SD and HD the day after premiere on iTunes, Xbox Video, Amazon Instant Video, Vudu and the Sony Entertainment Network.
The complete first season of “Broad City” is currently available in the Comedy Central App for authenticated users and will be available for all users from January 5 through January 21.
