IFC Heads Into Upfronts by Renewing Brockmire for 2 More Seasons

Brands can participate in the comedy network’s version of HQ Trivia: interactive bingo

IFC is going into this year’s upfronts by doubling down on its most successful series: the comedy network has renewed Brockmire for two additional seasons—its third and fourth—ahead of the show’s Season 2 premiere on April 25.

Hank Azaria stars as a former major league baseball announcer who ends up calling games in the minors after an on-air breakdown. Brockmire’s first season was the highest-rated in IFC history.

“I didn’t think it was possible, we got darker than Season 1,” Azaria said at an IFC upfront press luncheon in New York today about the upcoming season.
