Weeks before its second season premiere on Wednesday, June 15, Comedy Central has renewed its original comedy series Another Period for a third season, it was announced today by Kent Alterman, President, Comedy Central.
Another Period tells the incredible story of the Bellacourt sisters, Lillian and Beatrice (played by Natasha Leggero and Riki Linhome), who are defined by their family's wealth and care only about becoming super famous - which is a lot harder in 1902 - and follows the insanely decadent and outrageous life of the Bellacourt coterie. Before others claimed their fame, they were the one American family who epitomized all that was spoiled, shameless and stupid - with more servants than relatives and days filled with money, sex, drugs... and more money.
During the second season, the Bellacourts and the poor souls under their servitude return for a whole new season full of excess and debauchery with Lillian and Beatrice seeking advice on how to rebrand, attempting to divorce their gay husbands, pursuing new male suitors, fighting infectious diseases and, of course, still trying to be famous. Servants from downstairs head upstairs, sex is attempted to be had for pleasure, political scandals play out, and illustrious characters from our nation's past - such as Albert Einstein, Teddy and Eleanor Roosevet and Harriet Tubman - pay visit to Newport's first family.
Leggero and Lindhome co-created the comedy. They executive produce with director Jeremy Konner, Ben Stiller, Debbie Liebling, Stuart Cornfeld and Mike Rosenstein. Monika Zielinska and Tara Schuster are the executives in charge of production for Comedy Central.
In addition to Leggero and Lindhome, the comedy stars Michael Ian Black, Paget Brewster, Beth Dover, Lauren Flans, Brett Gelman, Christina Hendricks, Alice Hunter, Brian Huskey, David Koechner, Jason Ritter, David Wain and Armen Weitzman.
Guest stars for the second season include Jermaine Clement, Andrew Daly, Cedric the Entertainer, Perez Hilton, Moshe Kasher, Lauren Lapkus, Bobby Lee, Tom Lennon, Samm Levine, Aasif Mandvi, Kate Miccuci, Adam Pally, Missi Pyle, Andrew Rannells, June Diane Raphael, Will Sasso, Joss Whedon and more!
"I was raised to understand it's not polite to talk about periods, so I'll leave it at that," said Alterman.
"We'd like to thank Comedy Central for this continued opportunity to dress like queens and act like assholes," said Leggero and Lindhome.
