NEW YORK: A ten-episode third season of Broad City is headed to Comedy Central, which has also launched an app based on the hit scripted series created by and starring Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer.

Broad City centers on two young women living in New York. The program is exec produced by Jacobson, Glazer, Amy Poehler, Dave Becky, Sam Saifer and Tony Hernandez, and co-executive produced by Eric Slovin. Its second season, which debuted this week, features such guest stars as Kelly Ripa and Seth Rogen, among many others.

Comedy Central has also released Broad City Keyboard, an app featuring show-specific emojis and episodic GIFs that users can send to their friends. The free application can be downloaded from the iTunes App Store.

"It has just been brought to my attention that Broad City is a female-centric show, but we're going to do more anyway," said Kent Alterman, the president of content development and original programming at Comedy Central.
