Shrill is sticking around. Hulu just announced they’re renewing the TV show for a second season.
Based on the book by Lindy West, the comedy series stars Aidy Bryant as Annie, a young woman who feels a deep desire to change her life — not her physique. The cast also includes Lolly Adefope, Luka Jones, Ian Owens, John Cameron Mitchell, Dana Millican, Sean Tarjyoto, Daniel Stern, and Julia Sweeney.
