Awkwafina Is Nora From Queens Renewed for Season 2 by Comedy Central

Comedy Central has snagged Awkwafina, and it is not letting her go any time soon. Sarah Babineau, co-head of original content at Comedy Central, announced Tuesday at the Television Critics Association winter press tour that the network's new comedy Awkwafina Is Nora From Queenshas been renewed for Season 2 ahead of its debut.

The series stars Awkwafina as Nora, a 27-year-old New Yorker who leans heavily into the "lost millennial" identity. She can't seem to hold a steady job (unless you count ride-share) and constantly seems to find herself in trouble of her own making. The series also stars BD Wong has Nora's father and Lori Tan Chinn as her grandmother, who actually break the stereotype of the demanding and disappointed family members we see in most millennial-based series.
