HBO Max Comedy Sort Of Returning for Season 3; Hulu Orders Dan Levy Animated Comedy

HBO Max and CBC have renewed the Peabody Award-winning comedy series Sort Of for a third season. The Max Original comedy series is a co-production with CBC and Sphere Media. Created by Bilal Baig and Fab Filippo, the second season of the critically acclaimed comedy about a gender fluid millennial in transition in every aspect of their life debuted December 1 on HBO Max, following the Canadian premiere on CBC/CBC Gem in November, and will conclude with the final two episodes of the season on December 22. A coming-of-age story, Sort Of exposes the labels we once poured ourselves into as no longer applicable... to anyone.
Hulu has ordered Dan Levy and Ally Pankiw's Standing By to series from 20th Television Animation. The series order is on the heels of several productions from 20th Television Animation for Hulu Originals including Solar Opposites (which was just picked up for a fifth season), Futurama, and Koala Man, which premieres Jan. 9. Schitt's Creek, from Levy, is now streaming on Hulu. Levy will executive produce the series, which comes from his previous overall deal at ABC Signature, under his Not A Real Production Company banner. Standing By is a satirical look into the lives of a group of eternally bound, disgruntled guardian angels and the lessons they’ll eventually learn from not only the dysfunctional humans they’re in charge of protecting but also each other. The series stars Dan Levy, David Tennant, Natalie Palamides, Glenn Close, Poppy Liu and Samira Wiley.
