We are reviewing all the cancelled shows and renewed shows of 2011.
We were asking ourselves a little while ago if Pucks was getting cancelled? We still don´t know about that, but we know for sure that Episodes is renewed by Showtime for a second season. It was announced today by David Nevins, President of Entertainment, Showtime Networks Inc.
Half-hour comedy series Episodes, starring TV icon Matt LeBlanc as a fictional version of himself, received a second season order with the number of episodes to be determined.
This news of Episodes renewal should not surprise anyone, since the show was not only good but also performed well on Showtime.
“To have the opportunity to make another series of this show with David Crane and Jeffrey Klarik and then to make that show for both Showtime and the BBC, whose combined portfolios of comedy are second to none, is both a thrill and a great privilege,” said executive producer Jimmy Mulville. “At the end of the first series the writers have placed our three protagonists in the middle of comedy hell. Like the rest of the audience I can’t wait to see what is going to happen to them!”

I’m thrilled that Episosodes has been renewed for a second season, this is a smart comedy with great characters, love Matt LeBlanc in this!
Fabulous! Thank goodness for this brilliant show. Not much out there of this calibre
Episodes sucks.Matt LeBlanc deserves better role–he’s always cast as a jerk/bufoon. He’s going to ruin his career by being type casted as a jerk all the time.
[…] Showtime renews Episodes for second season […]
Loved the show – will definitely watch the upcoming season. Actually hysterical.
i thought the comedy was a great mix of our two cultures. i like matt whatever he is in but this one was a little “smarter” and i think it deserves the chance it should get.
