“Robin continues to break new ground in the world of sketch comedy. She delivered a hilariously sharp second season,” said Amy Gravitt, Executive Vice President, HBO Comedy Programming, “and we’re looking forward to seeing where Robin, Issa Rae and the A Black Lady Sketch Show team take us in Season 3.”
Season 2 once again featured a core cast of Black women (Robin Thede, Ashley Nicole Black, Gabrielle Dennis, Skye Townsend, and Laci Mosley) living relatable, hilarious experiences in a magical reality that subverts traditional expectations.
