Renewed: Full Frontal with Samantha Bee

Full Frontal with Samantha Bee has been renewed for a second season.

The show, which now screens in Australia on SBS VICELAND, has received positive critical feedback and plenty of attention during the 2016 presidential election.

“I am only sorry that this renewal leaves me unavailable for a cabinet position in the new administration,” Bee said in a statement. “I will, however, be available to host the White House Correspondents Dinner, seeing as I already bought the dress.”

“Of course we’re picking up the show,” said TBS’ senior vice president of original programming Thom Hinkle. “In less than a year, Sam has become one of the most talked-about personalities in all of television and Full Frontal’s audience continues to grow. We’re so lucky to have Sam and her Emmy-nominated team, led by the brilliant [showrunner] Jo Miller, as part of the TBS family.”

The show is also changing nights in the US but it remains to be seen whether this will impact fast-tracking for Australia on SBS VICELAND.
