IFC Renews "Brockmire" for Two Seasons
by Dade Hayes
March 29, 2018
IFC has renewed "Brockmire", its baseball-announcer spoof starring Hank Azaria and Amanda Peet, for two more seasons and also plans a third season of "Documentary Now!" in 2019.
The news came during the network’s upfront presentation, which was held in a downstairs room at Manhattan restaurant Upland.
Azaria spoke briefly, both in and out of character, nodding to today’s opening of the Major League Baseball season. As himself, he declared that he is a fan of the New York Mets, the occasionally brilliant but mostly frustrating runner-up to the crosstown Yankees, who have won 27 World Series. Then, in Jim Brockmire’s down-home-but-with-a-shot-of-bourbon announcing voice, he joked, “The Mets are the Yankees … of not being the Yankees.”
Season 2 of "Brockmire" is set to premiere April 25. The first season put up the best numbers of any debut show in IFC’s history.
