Four weeks after NBC aired the final episodes of Undateable‘s first season, its star and executive producer took to Twitter with some very good news: Danny and the gang are coming back for a second season.
Chris D’Elia was the first to share the comedy’s Season 2 renewal:
Here to report – Undateable season 2 is a GO. Operation: Chris buys a spaceship is coming to fruition.

Executive producer Bill Lawrence quickly followed that up with his own version of the good news:
Overexcited to do 2nd season of a Undateable on NBC. #pickedup

Undateable premiered outside of May sweeps to 3.8 million total viewers and a 1.3 demo rating, marking the best-rated summer comedy launch for any Big 4 network in five years.
This marks the second new NBC summer series to earn a renewal, following the medical drama The Night Shift.
