Posted on by

 

According to a new report from Deadline.com, Showtime would like to order more episodes of Our Cartoon President that would be a more proper third season in time for the 2020 election year. Right now nothing official has been determined, but it sounds like the powers at be want it to happen. Here’s what Gary Levine, President of Entertainment at Showtime Networks, told Deadline:

“I hope [we do more],” he said. “This season has been great, and obviously in an election year in 2020, there’s even more for them to skewer. There’s a lot to make fun of at all times about all of Washington, and I like that the series has broadened its targets. Certainly, in an election year, there’s a lot of ripe opportunity and we hope to take advantage of that.”

Executive produced by multiple Emmy® winner Stephen Colbert and his Late Show executive producer, Chris Licht. Starring two-dimensional avatars of Donald Trump and his merry band of insiders and family members, this cutting-edge comedy presents the truish adventures of Trump, his confidants and bon vivants. It’s a workplace comedy where the office is oval, a character study in search of character, and a timely political send-up of our always-colorful forty-fifth president and his family. Trust us, it’s yuge, and you’re going to laugh bigly. R.J. Fried will serve as executive producer and showrunner. Tim Luecke will serve as lead animator and co-executive producer. Matt Lappin will serve as consulting producer.
