The television world moves so fast that by the time you learn of a show’s premiere, it could already be canceled. It’s hard to keep track of the constant stream of television news, so Flavorwire is here to provide a weekly roundup of the most exciting — and baffling — casting and development updates. This week, Comedy Central renews everything great, Vincent D’Onofrio joins Netflix’s Daredevil, and Grumpy Cat is still popular.
Comedy Central renewed Inside Amy Schumer for a third season and Review for a second. The animated TripTank will get a second season of 20 episodes. The network also picked up two series. Idiotsitter, from CC: Studios, follows a young woman who babysits a “mega-rich womanchild” under house arrest. Natasha Leggero and Riki Lindhome’s Another Period is about rich sisters at the turn of the century. The pilot will also star Michael Ian Black, Paget Brewster, Jason Ritter, and Tom Lennon.
