BET+ has given a Season 2 order to “Churchy,” the comedy series from standup comedian Kevin “KevOnStage” Fredericks and LeBron James’ SpringHill. The pickup comes as BET prepares to premiere the series on its linear cable network next Tuesday, Nov. 5 at 9 p.m. Et.
According to BET+, the series was the No. 1 scripted comedy series on the platform during its debut week (Feb. 15). “We congratulate the amazing writers, cast, crew, and our production partners for creating such an entertaining first season,” Jason Harvey, exec VP and head of BET+ said in a statement. “‘Churchy’ blends humor and heart around the center all of which resonated tremendously with viewers. We are excited to see where the second season will take us.”
The show is inspired by the comedy of Fredericks, who plays Corey Carr Jr., a character that finds himself at a crossroads when his father’s mega-church decides not to let him inherit its leadership.
