Friends From College Renewed For Season 2

The friends are sticking together! Netflix has renewed Friends From College for a second season. Season 2 will consist of 8 episodes.

The ensemble comedy — produced in-house at Netflix — revolves around a group of friends from Harvard. Keegan-Michael Key, Cobie Smulders, Annie Parisse, Nat Faxon, Fred Savage and Jae Suh Park star in the exploration of friendship, romance and balancing adult life with nostalgia from the past.

The series launched July 14 to lackluster reviews — it has a 24 percent rating among critics and 72 percent audience score on Rotten Tomatoes as well as a 44 critical score and 5.2 among users on Metacritic. Helping matters however is the fact that the show is produced in-house at Netflix, which like broadcast and cable networks, continues to make a push to own its content. (Netflix, like fellow streamers Amazon and Hulu, does not release viewership figures.)
