The Chair Company ended as it began, totally insane. Ron, thinking he’s solved the conspiracy of Tecca, attempts to settle with the idea that no one can ever know. But soon enough, he learns that things are far deeper than he imagined, learning new information about his boss, then Mike, then the guy sitting outside his house in a hockey mask. Some are linked, some are not, but the end result is…there are a lot of loose threads. So, will HBO pick this up? Will there be a season 2 of The Chair Company?
Yes. This is already a done deal. This happened a little under two weeks ago on November 20, when a few different series were picked up again including The Chair Company and its paired comedy at 10:30 ET, I Love LA. It is incredibly easy to see why The Chair Company was so quickly renewed.
The Chair Company
Rotten Tomatoes
The Chair Company boasts a perfect 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, a rarity for any comedy, with humor often being so subjective. But on top of that, The Chair Company did huge numbers for HBO. It is the most-viewed new comedy in HBO series history, with 3.3 million viewers when it debuted. Here’s what HBO programming executive VP Amy Gravitt said at the time.
“Both shows confidently carry on the HBO comedy tradition, in their own singular way. We couldn’t be happier to continue collaborating with Tim, Zach, Rachel, and their exceptional teams.”
What’s not being said is that a show like this is absolutely dirt cheap. It probably spends more on chairs than anything else. Robinson, however, should be demanding quite a salary at this point as he’s quickly becoming one of the most meme-able comedians of his era. This is also not the first time HBO has renewed an absurd comedy with a quirky lead lately, as Nathan Fielder’s The Rehearsal got a second season. It will likely get a third, but that seems to depend on Fielder himself, if he has further ideas for the series or if he’s moving on.
When The Chair Company started, I did not imagine this was going to be an ongoing series. We’re used to Tim Robinson and five-minute skits from I Think You Should Leave, so multiple-season comedy show seemed like a wild idea. There was also some question about whether his skit humor would translate into a longform show like this, but very clearly the answer is yes (“I’m home alone at a sleepover!).
So, we will be getting more Robinson and more chairs. When? That we don’t know, but a comedy like this is not likely to have 2+ years between seasons like a bunch of streaming shows. Shooting for a single year would be nice.
