The show’s renewal is just part of Comedy Central’s attempts to recruit [more comedies created by women](http://time.com/45771/how-amy-schumer-got-guys-to-think-feminists-are-funny/) to the network. Next year they’ll add Natasha Leggero and Riki Lindhome’s _Another Period_ and Charlotte Newhouse and Jillian Bell’s [_Idiotsitter_](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/idiotsitter-star-i-love-playing-687810)to its primetime lineup. _Another Period_ is a faux-reality show about two rich sisters in the Victorian era. _Idiotsitter_ follows a women hired to babysit a wealthy woman-child under house arrest. The cable network also renewed _Broad City_, a show created by and starring Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer, earlier this year after a successful first season. (_Broad City_ made [TIME’s list of best shows of 2014 so far](http://time.com/2809452/best-tv-shows-2014-so-far/).) These female comics will join Comedy Central staples, including _South Park,_ _Key & Peele_ and _Workaholics_. The cable network says it’s sticking to a funny first strategy. “There are two significant things that unite this disparate slate of shows,” Comedy Central president, content development and original programming Kent Alterman said. “1\. They are all super funny, and 2\. We hope our fans agree.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/2849454/comedy-central-renews-inside-amy-schumer/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/2849454/comedy-central-renews-inside-amy-schumer/"},"headline":"Comedy Central Renews Inside Amy Schumer","datePublished":"2014-06-09T20:23:46.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T08:55:26.513Z","description":"Comedy Central is picking up even more shows by female comedians","url":"https://time.com/2849454/comedy-central-renews-inside-amy-schumer/","keywords":["Living","comedy central","broad city","Culture"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0b2c2a104f74e062/698696d5cd684854ce09522f/amy_schumer_2.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliana Dockterman","jobTitle":"Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/eliana-dockterman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt0b2c2a104f74e062/698696d5cd684854ce09522f/amy_schumer_2.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Inside Amy Schumer","caption":"Inside Amy Schumer","creditText":"Matthew Peyton—Comedy Central","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-living/","name":"Living"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/2849454/comedy-central-renews-inside-amy-schumer/","name":"Comedy Central Renews Inside Amy Schumer"}}]}] ```
