Josh Richards Returns: Inside Season 2 of His Hit Sketch Comedy Show
By Sarah Jenkins
Richards revealed the creative expansion for Season 2 during an early-morning ABC News broadcast segment. While Season 1 operated as a pilot run, racking up tens of millions of views across YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and TikTok, Season 2 benefits from an expanded writers' room and dedicated multi-camera sound stages in Burbank, California.
The upcoming run introduces longer narrative arcs parodying creator-economy excess, influencer wellness cults, and corporate attempts to capture youth culture. Production insiders confirm that Season 2 features recurring guest appearances from top-tier digital talent and traditional television cameos, mirroring the crossover casting model that built early digital studios like Maker Studios and AwesomenessTV, but with far sharper production values.
"We wanted to bring back the golden era of ensemble sketch comedy," Richards remarked during the broadcast. "Shows like Chappelle's Show or early Saturday Night Live made cultural statements every single week. We are making something punchy, fast, and structured for how people actually consume entertainment today."
