Just weeks after their debuts, FX renewed its two new comedy-dramas "Atlanta" and "Better Things".

The network gave 10 new episodes to each of the shows, which have brought the network critical acclaim and strong ratings.





"Better Things", the comedy from Pamela Adlon examines her life as a single working actor with no filter raising three daughters. The pilot was the second most-watched basic-cable comedy series premiere of the year among 18-34 women (after Atlanta) and garnered 1.4 million total viewers in Live+7 ratings.

Nick Grad and Eric Schrier, presidents of FX's original programming, said in a statement, "It's really gratifying to launch two new comedies that have received overwhelming critical acclaim right out of the gate and that are emblematic of FX's award-winning brand. It is clear to us that Atlanta and Better Things have struck a nerve with viewers. They, along with their spectacular casts, writers and directors, have created exceptional shows that we are incredibly proud to produce."





"Better Things" airs Thursdays at 10/9 on FX.
