More Full Frontal with Samantha Bee for TBS

ATLANTA: TBS has renewed the Emmy-nominated late-night series Full Frontal with Samantha Bee for a sophomore season that will launch in 2017.

Full Frontal with Samantha Bee currently airs Mondays at 10:30 p.m., though it will move to Wednesdays at 10:30 p.m. starting January 11, 2017. The series premiered in February and has covered timely topics such as the 2016 U.S. presidential election, untested rape kits in Georgia, abortion laws in Texas and more.

The show currently reaches an average of 3.3 million viewers per episode across multiple platforms and ranks as one of TV’s top three late-night series with adults 18 to 49 for the quarter to date. It is executive produced by Bee, Jason Jones, Jo Miller, Miles Kahn and Tony Hernandez.

“I am only sorry that this renewal leaves me unavailable for a cabinet position in the new administration,” Bee said. “I will, however, be available to host the White House Correspondents Dinner, seeing as I already bought the dress.”

“Of course we’re picking up the show,” said Thom Hinkle, the senior VP of original programming for TBS. “In less than a year, Sam has become one of the most talked-about personalities in all of television and Full Frontal‘s audience continues to grow. We’re so lucky to have Sam and her Emmy-nominated team, led by the brilliant Jo Miller, as part of the TBS family. Xoxoxoxo.”
