Somebody Somewhere Renewed for 2nd Season; FXX Turns Dicktown Into Own Series

HBO announced that the critically acclaimed comedy series Somebody Somewhere has been renewed for a second season. Starring and executive produced by comedian and singer Bridget Everett, the seven-episode first season debuted January 16, with new episodes airing weekly on HBO and HBO Max. The season one finale debuts on February 27. From Mighty Mint, Duplass Brothers Productions, and creators & executive producers Hannah Bos and Paul Thureen (writers on HBO's High Maintenance), the series follows Sam (played by Everett), a true Kansan on the surface, but, beneath it all, struggling to fit the hometown mold. Grappling with loss and acceptance, singing is Sam's saving grace and leads her on a journey to discover herself and a community of outsiders who don't fit in but don't give up, showing that finding your people, and finding your voice, is possible. Anywhere. Somewhere. Season one stars Everett alongside Jeff Hiller (Nightcap), Mary Catherine Garrison (HBO's Veep), Danny McCarthy (The Ballad of Buster Scroggs), and Mike Hagerty (HBO's Lucky Louie). Recurring cast includes Murray Hill (Welcome to Flatch), Jon Hudson Odom (HBO's Lovecraft Country), Heidi Johanningmeier (100 Days to Live), and Jane Brody (Chicago Fire).

Dicktown

FX has set the premiere date for Dicktown, the half-hour animated comedy series created, written and directed by John Hodgman and David Rees. The new season of Dicktown will premiere Thursday, March 3 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on FXX and stream on Hulu. The premiere and the four subsequent episodes on Thursdays will each feature two 15-minute segments. John Hunchman was once the famous boy detective of Richardsville, North Carolina (DICKTOWN, to the locals), but now he's pushing 40 and still solving mysteries for teens. David Purefoy, his former bully, is now his driver, muscle and only friend. Between chasing down stolen pimento cheese recipes and high school mascots gone rogue, John and David never stop trying to solve the biggest mystery: how to grow up. But when a menacing figure roars into their lives on a weird motorcycle-car, they learn the past isn't done with them yet. The first season of Dicktown was part of season three of FX's Cake and is now streaming on Hulu.
