Sundance Now Greenlights Season Two of This Close

Sundance Now has ordered season two of its original relationship dramedy This Close.

The dramedy marked Sundance Now’s first straight-to-series order. The show explores the relationship between twentysomething best friends Kate (Shoshannah Stern) and Michael (Josh Feldman) as they navigate love, loss, careers, friendship and life in L.A.

“We are immensely proud of This Close and could not have asked for a better reception to the series’ first season from both the press and our Sundance Now members,” commented Jan Diedrichsen, the general manager of SundanceTV and Sundance Now. “Greenlighting the show’s second season was the easiest decision we’ve ever made, and we cannot wait to see where Josh and Shoshannah take Michael and Kate’s stories.”

“Making the first season of This Close was a dream come true,” said Stern and Feldman, creators, executive producers and stars. “We couldn’t have done this without our brilliant team, and are thrilled to dive back into this story. We never anticipated the response to the show from our audience, which was beyond our wildest expectations and is the very reason we get to continue telling Kate and Michael’s stories.”
