Alert the butlers, it’s time to crack open another bottle of cocaine wine as the Bellacourts have reason to celebrate!
Comedy Central has renewed the turn-of-the-century historical and satirical scripted series Another Period for a second season, it was announced today by Kent Alterman, President, Original Programming, Comedy Central. Another Period is written by, executive produced by and stars Natasha Leggero and Riki Lindhome.
The second season of Another Period will premiere ten episodes in 2016.
“Another Period is a beautiful reflection of a great American truth: the more things change, the more they stay the same,” said Alterman.
“We are thrilled that Comedy Central has such good taste,” added Leggero and Lindhome.
Before others claimed their fame, there was one American family that stood for all that was spoiled, shameless and stupid. Meet the Bellacourts – Newport, RI’s First Family of the Gilded Age. They have tons of money, live in a big-ass mansion and employ a whole team of Fonzworth Bentleys.
However, the Bellacourts’ servants have to do a lot more than hold umbrellas. “Another Period” centers on the Bellacourt sisters, Lillian (Leggero) and Beatrice (Lindhome), who only care about being rich and becoming super famous (which is a lot harder in 1902).
