Amazon Readies Second Season of 'One Mississippi' Starring Tig Notaro

The comedy series from creators Tig Notaro and Diablo Cody will return for a second season.

Amazon has announced a second season order for its original show 'One Mississippi.' An exact release date has not been announced yet, but the new season is expected to premiere in 2017 exclusively on Amazon Prime Video in the US, UK, Germany, Austria, and Japan.

"Making a show as comic and tragic as One Mississippi is a risk. Pulling it off with such intelligence and nuance is rare," said Joe Lewis, Head of Comedy and Drama, Amazon Studios. "We're grateful for the audience response and we’re excited to bring them more of Tig and Kate's brilliance in season two."

Starring Emmy Award nominated comedian Tig Notaro ('Transparent'), created by Notaro and Diablo Cody ('Young Adult'), with Kate Robin ('Six Feet Under') serving as Showrunner, 'One Mississippi' follows Tig's return to her hometown in Mississippi when her mother passes away unexpectedly. As she copes with the tragedy and deals with events from her past, the series becomes a poignant and surprisingly humorous exploration of family. The show also stars Noah Harpster ('Transparent'), John Rothman ('Law & Order'), and Stephanie Allynne ('Comedy Bang! Bang!'). Notaro, Cody, Robin, M. Blair Breard ('Better Things'), Dave Becky ('Master of None'), and Louis C.K. ('Louie') will be Executive Producers for season two.

In addition to the forthcoming second season, the entire first season of 'One Mississippi' is now available to stream on Prime Video. Other upcoming Amazon premieres include 'Mozart in the Jungle' season three on December 9 and 'The Man in the High Castle' season two on December 16. 

A current Amazon Prime subscription costs $99 per year or $11 per month. Likewise, Prime Instant Video is available as a standalone service for $9 per month.
