Created by David Cross (Arrested Development), the series tells the story of Todd (Cross), an American sales executive who takes a job running the sales team of an energy drink. Being as underqualified for the job as he is, Todd finds himself in dire circumstances as a result of his refusal to be honest about his experience level. The cast for the third season of the series is still being finalized, though series regular Sharon Horgan (Pulling) is confirmed to be returning as café owner Alice, who Todd has a crush on and yearns to impress.

The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret, which last aired in 2012, joins a scripted lineup on IFC that includes sketch series The Birthday Boys, podcast spin-off Comedy Bang! Bang!, and Garfunkel & Oates, which stars Riki Lindhomme (Gilmore Girls) and Kate Micucci (Raising Hope).

“I am very proud of both seasons of the show and thrilled we’re doing another one,” said series creator and star Marc Maron. “Through all the episodes I can see the growth and evolution of the character, writing and comedy. I’m excited about getting back into the process. The character of Maron needs some work on and off screen and fortunately that’s what drives the show.”

Maron follows a fictionalized version of Maron as he deals with life as a working comedian, battles the demons from his past that still exert influence on his behavior, and attempts to navigate the dating world. The series also stars Nora Zehetner (Grey’s Anatomy) and Josh Brener (Silicon Valley), with the likes of Amy Poehler, Gina Gershon, and Mark Duplass having guest starred during the first two seasons. The series heads a scripted slate for IFC that includes Portlandia, Garfunkel and Oates, and The Birthday Boys.

“Portlandia has celebrated sustainable local agriculture, underemployment, avian crafting, gender politics, intense bicycle messengers and so much more,” said Jennifer Caserta, president and general manager of IFC.  “We can now celebrate two more seasons.”

Among the guest stars that have stopped by Portlandia during its run are Kyle MacLachlan in the recurring role of the Mayor of Portland, Chloe Sevigny, and Jeff Goldblum. Other guests have included Roseanne, Rose Byrne, George Wendt, Martina Navratilova, Aimee Mann, Sarah McLachlan, Aubrey Plaza, and Patton Oswalt.

Since its 2011 debut, Portlandia has been the subject of critical acclaim that has since transitioned into awards attention, as the show was honored with a Peabody Award, a WGA Award, and an Emmy. Last September, the show made it into the Outstanding Directing and Outstanding Writing categories for Variety Series at the Emmys, a sign that its support has only continued to grow and might do so this coming year. With the vote of confidence from the network, that traction has a potential to result in further awards attention and even more accolades meant to boost its profile.

Bang! on the network, the latter of which is set to premiere its second season on Friday, July 12th at 10:00. Maron, created by comedian Marc Maron, is currently airing on Fridays.
