Full Frontal with Samantha Bee Gets Fifth Season

TBS has renewed its Emmy-winning late-night show Full Frontal with Samantha Bee for a fifth season.

Premiering in 2016 as the only female-hosted late-night program, Full Frontal will continue to bring Bee’s unique voice and worldview straight through 2020 election coverage. The show reaches nearly 4 million viewers per episode and currently boasts more than 300 million YouTube views. Full Frontal airs Wednesdays on TBS at 10:30 p.m.

Additionally, TBS has renewed its first-look deal with Bee’s production company, Swimsuit Competition, that focuses on developing original content. Swimsuit Competition continues to seek ideas from people who are flying under the radar or whose work has been underestimated. The company recently began production on The Untitled Amy Hoggart Project (working title), a spin-off series from Full Frontal correspondent Amy Hoggart.

“I’m beyond grateful for the opportunity to continue doing this show for another season,” said Bee. “Excited to still be at it when Trump finally gives up the presidency at the end of his fifth term, January 2036. I heard he’ll be leaving to spend more time with his family. JK JK.”
