‘Killing It’ Renewed for Season 2 by Peacock
Peacock announced today that it renewed the comedy series Killing It for a second season.
A report from Deadline confirmed the news. Killing It stars Craig Robinson as Craig, an aspiring entrepreneur struggling to fund his new business. He enters a snake hunting contest in hopes of winning the cash prize.
Joining him on his journey are his snake-hunting partner Jillian (Claudia O’Doherty) and his troublemaking brother Isaiah (Rell Battle).
“We knew we had a rare gem with Killing It and are thrilled Peacock audiences sank their teeth into this series, led by comedic legend Craig Robinson,” NBCUniversal Television and Streaming’s chairman of entertainment content Susan Rovner said in a statement.
“We can’t wait to tell more twists and turns of one person’s hilarious, persistent pursuit of the American dream…,” Rovner continued.
Robinson, best known for his work on Brooklyn Nine-Nine and The Office, is also an executive producer for the show.
TVLine reports that Season 2 will be about “further expanding on Craig’s quest to achieve the American dream.” While Season 1 featured ten episodes, an episode order has not been confirmed for Season 2.
Dan Goor (Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Parks and Recreation) and Luke Del Tredici (Brooklyn Nine-Nine, 30 Rock) serve as co-showrunners.
“We are immensely grateful to everyone at Universal Television and Peacock,” Goor and Tredici said in a statement. “‘Snake-based economic satire’ isn’t exactly a familiar, beloved genre of television comedy, but they were fully behind the project from the start. We can’t wait to make more!”
Killing It is the fourth Peacock original comedy to receive a second season joining Girls5eva, Rutherford Falls, and Saved by the Bell (now canceled).
Killing It also features Scott MacArthur, Stephanie Nogueras, Wyatt Walter, and Jet Miller.
A release date for Season 2 has not been announced.
