Just two weeks after its debut, "Key & Peele" has been renewed for a second season, Comedy Central announced Tuesday.

The sketch comedy series debuted Jan. 31 to 2.1 million viewers, the biggest Comedy Central launch since 2009.

"Because 'Key & Peele' has been so immediately and universally well received, I was worried if we didn't give the show a quick pick up, people might accuse me of being racist," said Kent Alterman, head of original programming and production at the network.

Added stars Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele: "We are honored, humbled and most importantly contractually obligated to deliver a second season to Comedy Central."

The 10-episode second season of "Key & Peele" is slated to premiere in the fall.
