Issa Rae‘s struck comedy gold once again with the good folks over at HBO as new reports have confirmed the hilarious series ‘A Black Lady Sketch Show’ – which just premiered on August 2nd – has already been renewed for a sophomore season.
Details below:
The comedy program – the brainchild of comedienne Robin Thede – is executive produced by Rae and has already become ‘must see TV’ for the premium network in its short time on the air.
Boasting a guest list of some of Black Hollywood’s finest (see: Angela Bassett, Loretta Devine, Patti Labelle, and many many more), the series’ inaugural season will be a tough act to follow. The challenge, however, is one the network is more than ready to face says its programming executive vice president, Amy Gravitt.
In a recent statement Gravitt beamed:
“It’s been thrilling to see the audience embrace the characters that Robin, Ashley, Gabrielle and Quinta have brought to life,” she remarked. “We had a blast making this groundbreaking sketch show with Robin, Dime and all of the writers and producers, and I can’t wait to see what next season holds.”
As of time reported, season 2’s production start nor premiere date have been revealed.

And also, a lot of the s*** ain’t funny.
I had such high hopes for this show but it’s sooo not funny
Just couldn’t get into this show and I wanted to love it so bad cause of the cast. But it seems forced and trying to hard to be funny yet comes off unscripted
They need to get new writers cause it’s not funny.
I can’t get into this show at all….. I’ll past
