Dave “Lil Dicky” Burd may have initially gained attention by way of his breakout studio album Professional Rapper, but his television work appears to be taking him to the next stage of his career. Burd’s original series Dave, which premiered earlier this year on FXX, recently concluded its ten-episode first season run — in the process, it became the most-viewed comedy series in FX history, raking in a reported 5.3 million viewers per episode.

Telling the tale of one man’s unlikely quest to become the next-great hip-hop superstar, Dave became an instant favorite for longtime Dicky fans and newcomer viewers alike. Though speculation of a season two renewal was all but locked in, a report from Variety has confirmed that a new batch of Dave episodes will be arriving at some point in 2021, barring any coronavirus-related production delays. 

“Thank you for a record-breaking rookie year,” writes Dicky, by way of his Instagram page. “Season 2 mode activated.” In an official statement, Burb elaborated on his vision for season two, albeit more so in scope than in creative direction. “We set out to make something special and it’s so gratifying to see the response this show has gotten,” he explains. “This was my first rodeo, so I’m super excited to take another crack at it now that I’ve got some experience making television. It really feels like the sky is the limit with this show. I look forward to raising the bar even higher next year.”

Congratulation to Dicky and all the minds behind Dave — did you watch the first season, and if so, are you looking forward to a second one?

It's becoming increasingly evident that, despite everything society once told us, television may very well be the savior of humanity. Seeing as nearly everything us quarantined folk can to keep busy requires a screen of sorts, many have put their eyes through the wringer in an effort to combat self-isolation blues. And while nearly every recurring series has suffered from production halts, those that have made the cut are seeming all the more ble for binging. Luckily, a new season of T.I. & Tiny: Friends And Family Hustle is on the way, as per the Majorgirl herself.

Unveiling the release date through an elaborate staging of the "Don't Touch" challenge, the ladies of Friends And Family Hustle proved that they can remain united even throughout these stringent social distancing measures. "Sit the whole family down & Tune in tomorrow on Vh1 9pm to Friends & Family Hustle," writes Tiny, confirming that the new season would be kicking off tonight on VH1 at 9 PM, 8 central.

Should you be so inclined, be sure to tune in to catch the upcoming episode this evening, which appears to address Monica's divorce, Tiny's reaction to Tip's extravagant (complete with a haberdashery) home renovations, and much more. What say you -- is reality TV the remedy you seek in this trying time of need?

Rick and Morty is one of the most culturally-relevant shows on television, redefining stoner entertainment and finally giving us hope during this global pandemic that we're all navigating through together. After the premiere of Season 4 late last year, the Adult Swim program is ready to make its return with a batch of new episodes next month. That's right -- the second installment of the fourth season has just been announced and we don't have much longer to wait.

Giving us enough time to finish Tiger King, Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon, the creators of Rick and Morty, have just revealed that the show will be returning on May 3, 2020.

"Prepare yourselves. The time for brand new Rick and Morty adventures is almost here," says the show's narrator in the brand-new trailer.

The animated series previously broke into the world of hip-hop after Kanye West revealed that it was one of his favorite shows. Roiland and Harmon ended up animating him, teasing his imminent debut on the small screen.

The boys are officially back in town! It's time to set your DVRs because Rick and Morty is making a return and we couldn't be any more excited. Who will be tuning in for the new episodes?

Action Bronson and Viceland have had a tumultuous relationship. The Vice Media-owned television network commissioned two programs from Bronson: F*ck, That's Delicious and Traveling the Stars: Action Bronson and Friends Watch Ancient Aliens. While there's a sizable audience out there eager to consume this prime stoner content, Viceland has apparently been fumbling the shows' distribution. 

On Wednesday (Feb. 5), Action Bronson put the network on blast in an aggravated tweet. "FUCK, THATS DELICIOUS! SEASON WHATEVER IT IS HAS BEEN READY AND THE MOTHERFUCKAS ARE HOLDING IT HOSTAGE," the rapper wrote. "MY CONTRACT IS OVER IN FULL IN MARCH AND I PROMISE IM GONNA SHOVE IT DOWN YOUR FUCKING THROATS EVERY CHANCE I GET. YOU’VE SABOTAGED MY SHOWS AT EVERY TURN. FTD 4 EVA."

Somehow, someway, Vince Gilligan took Breaking Bad’s beloved Saul Goodman and brought him on a surprisingly emotional, compelling, and Emmy-nominated journey. Now, it would appear the prequel series that is Better Call Saul is coming to an end. The best kind of end, mind you: one that willingly rockets headlong toward its well-mapped conclusion, accepting that all good things must indeed conclude. Deadline reports that AMC has officially renewed the Bob Odenkirk-led series for a sixth and final season.

With season five set to premiere on back-to-back nights of February 23 and February 24, the ten-episode arc will find our hero becoming the dubious yet loveable scumbag he was born to be. Speaking on the journey thus far, showrunner Peter Gould praised the commitment of Sony and AMC. “From Day 1 of Better Call Saul, my dream was to tell the complete story of our complicated and compromised hero, Jimmy McGill – now AMC and Sony are making that dream come true,” says Gould, at Better Call Saul’s TCA winter press tour. “We couldn’t be more grateful to the fans and critics who are making this journey possible. Next month we start work on the sixth and final season — we’re going to do our damnedest to stick the landing.”

Look for Better Call Saul to wrap on a high note, if Breaking Bad is any indication of where things might be headed. One has to wonder how many more familiar faces might show up for the ride. Does anyone have love for Better Call Saul?

Chris Rock is making his return to the television screen this spring in one of the most coveted fictitious period-piece television series of this generation in Fargo. The Bigger & Blacker comedian is temporarily ditching the standup mic for suits, ties, guns, and a mustache that convincingly adds to his aesthetic as crime syndicate boss, Loy Cannon. 

In the fourth season of Fargo, Cannon is leading a group of black migrants fleeing the Jim Crow South to Kansas City, Missouri in hopes he’ll be able to lead his people to prosperity and settle in a safe environment. Unfortunately, with the presence of the Kansas City mafia looming around the displaced people, Cannon is forced to take on the mafia. Surprisingly, the two opposing groups come to an agreement that they would trade eldest sons to be raised by each other’s families in order to force peace within the community. 

While on a recent promo tour for the upcoming season of the highly-popularized drama, Chris Rock revealed that he was pleasantly surprised he received a role in the show, stating, “I was shocked. I did not think in my wildest dreams it was to be on the show. I was pleasantly surprised.”

Chris Rock recently contributed to the legendary moment joining Eddie Murphy, Dave Chappelle, Kenan, Thompson, and Tracy Morgan on stage during Saturday Night Live. Season four of Fargo will premiere on April 19 on FX. Check out the full trailer for new season featuring Chris Rock as Loy Cannon in the video provided below. 

The long-awaited fourth season of FX’s Fargo, which will star Chris Rock, is almost here. Earlier this week, the network released the first trailer for the upcoming season.

Season four will follow an African American crime syndicate which goes to war with the Italian mafia in Kansas City, Missouri during the 1950s.

Chris Rock was asked about moving into a dramatic role with Fargo by ET Canada, and he said, “Fargo always has a little comedy. But it’s always more ironic. The comedy in Fargo really serves the story. It’s not like ‘a guy is going to be funny right now.'”

“This year, we’re really looking at the origins of the American capital crime, which is the exploitation of cheap labor,” Creator Noah Hawley explained of the upcoming season. “It took a long time for those people working to break into what we consider mainstream America.”

Fargo is an anthology by season based on the Coen Brother film of the same name. Its previous stars have included Ewan McGregor, Martin Freeman, Kirsten Dunst, Jesse Plemons and more. It’s received universal acclaim from critics, having received 8 Primetime Emmy Award nominations and 8 Golden Globe nominations as well as having a 96% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Season four is scheduled to premiere on FX on April 19th.
