Hurrah! Hulu has confirmed that it will be bringing Shrill back for a third series. The show (which is available now on BBC iPlayer, you’re welcome), inspired by Lindy West’s book Shrill: Notes From a Loud Woman and starring SNL’s Aidy Bryant and Lolly Adefope will return with eight new episodes. Although it’s unclear when production will commence due to the near industry-wide production shut down caused by COVID-19.
In January at the launch of the second series of Shrill Aidy Bryant told The Hollywood Reporter that she would love to do a third series: “We have so many ideas that I feel like I would be so excited to weave in there. I think part of what I would be excited to show is that yes, she has come to the other side of some of her insecurities, but they do rear their ugly head, I think having to put yourself out there in the dating world is, like, trigger city. And we got into it a little bit this season — like in the sixth episode you see Annie have chub rub — but I would love to go a little deeper on some of the daily indignities of living with a body that sometimes betrays you or that other people have feelings about, and having to suffer those. I just feel like there’s so much more to be said and to be done with it.”
We cannot wait to see what new adventures Annie, Fran and the rest of the Shrill characters embark on in the next series…
