After recently hearing that she will be performing her first hour-long comedy special for Netflix, the good news keeps rolling in for comedian Patrica “Ms. Pat” Williams.
BET has announced that her TV sitcom “Ms. Pat Show” has been renewed for a second season.
The news comes three weeks after the 10-episode first season debuted on BET+. The network hasn’t released detailed viewing statistics but says the show has set records for viewing and audience engagement on the platform.
The Ms. Pat Show follows its title character; a former convicted felon turned suburban mom and stand-up comedian whose hustle and resilient spirit was forged on the streets of Atlanta. She now finds herself and her family in conservative middle America. The cast also includes J. Bernard Calloway, Tami Roman, Theodore Barnes, and Briyana Guadalupe. Jordan E. Cooper (Fox’s Star) created the series, and Lee Daniels is among the show’s executive producers.
This news comes on the heels of Netflix’s announcement of the streaming service-producing Williams’ debut hour-long comedy special. The special, which is still to be titled will be directed by Robert Townsand and shot at the Atlanta Comedy Theater on Sept. 25. She previously appeared in the second season of the network’s “The Degenerates” stand-up series, delivering a half-hour set.
