Kat’s cat café will remain open after Fox handed freshman comedy "Call Me Kat" a second season.

However, Darlene Hunt, who was the showrunner and exec producer of Season 1, is leaving the show and negotiations are underway for her replacement.

The network said Monday that the series tied as the No. 1 new comedy with "Young Rock" season-to-date, and it is averaging 5.7 million multiplatform viewers, a 119% lift from Nielsen’s Live+Same Day numbers.

Call Me Kat taps Mom's Alissa Neubauer as Season 2 showrunner

I happened to catch the show a few days ago and thought it was good. a bit of through back to George Burns when he talked to the audience. Kat does that.

Glad to hear it's getting renewed. It has a pretty good cast.

Sony TV reportedly wants Mayim Bialik to take over as full-time Jeopardy! host, but she's busy with Fox's Call Me Kat

The Hollywood Reporter's Lesley Goldberg says Bialik, who was tapped to host Jeopardy!'s primetime specials, "was a top choice of Sony senior execs to take syndicated hosting job but her previously set schedule on the Warner Bros.-produced Fox comedy Call Me Kat is preventing such a move." Bialik is currently filming a three-week guest-hosting stint amid controversy over her previous stance on vaccinations and her comments shaming Harvey Weinstein's sexual assault victims. Goldberg adds that Bialik "has signaled she’d be interested in the full-time Jeopardy! job should Call Me Kat not return for a third season."
