TBS has renewed the comedy series The Detour for its third season
TBS has ordered a third season of The Detour, which is cable’s most watched original comedy this year so far. The show was created, written and executive produced by Jason Jones and Samantha Bee. Jones stars in the comedy with Natalie Zea, Ashley Gerasimovich, Liam Carroll and Daniella Pineda.TBS will close out the second season of The Detour tonight with a new episode at 10 p.m. (ET/PT), followed by the super-sized season finale, which will be presented with limited commercial interruption at 10:30 p.m. (ET/PT).
The Detour centers on a family of four led by Nate (Jones) and his wife, Robin (Zea). At the opening of the second season, Nate pursues a promising job opportunity and moves the family to New York City for a fresh start. Everyone is excited except for Robin, who knows that a move to the big city means her mysterious past may catch up with her. While Nate and Robin adjust to new jobs, new neighbors and old flames, Jared (Carroll) and Delilah (Gerasimovich) dive headfirst into the awkwardness of adolescence. Despite questionable parenting and terrible decisions, the love the Parkers have for each other will keep the family intact as they endure another disastrous adventure.
“I hear from so many people who love The Detour, even my hardcore comedy friends,” said Thom Hinkle, senior vice president of original programming for TBS. “Season Two has been so smart, hilarious and wrong. And from the early nuggets I’ve gotten from Jason and Sam, Season Three is going to be even more effed up.”
The show has had a number of guest stars, including series executive producer and co-creator Samantha Bee, James Cromwell, John Oliver, Laura Benanti, Jeffrey Vincent Parise and Max Casella. The Detour is executive produced by Jason Jones, Samantha Bee, Brennan Shroff and Tony Hernandez.
