Portlandia is executive produced by Lorne Michaels and produced by Broadway Video.

"We are so excited to get to do more Portlandia with IFC," Armisen and Brownstein said in a joint statement. "Getting to work with Jon and our talented writers and crew, it really is our favorite thing in the world. Also, we get to spend more time in Portland!"

"Portland may be a place where young people go to retire, but IFC is not retiring Portlandia," added Jennifer Caserta, IFC's president. "And if you order a book from Toni and Candace at the Feminist Bookstore right now, it might even arrive by the time Season 7 rolls around."
