78 Search Party (2016): Season 2

One of last year's more pleasant surprises, the heavily serialized comedic mystery series about a group of self-absorbed millennials returns for a darker second season that will deal with the aftermath of last season's events. The entire cast (led by Alia Shawkat and John Early) returns alongside producer Michael Showalter (who also directs three episodes), with new cast members including Jay Duplass, Judy Reyes, Phoebe Robinson, Tymberlee Hill, and Jessica Chaffin. Last season's unconventional one-week rollout will be ditched for a five-week schedule (with two episodes per week).

Season 2 debuts November 19 on TBS
