The Hollywood Reporter said Shrill will return in 2020. The second season will have eight episodes, two more than the first season.

Bryant had discussed the possibility of a second season with THR in March.

"I think there is a world where we can squeeze a couple more [seasons] in. I'm not going to stay at SNL forever, even though I love it -- it's just really grueling to do both," the Saturday Night Live star said.

"Particularly this fall, we were editing and doing all the music supervision and all that stuff while I was at SNL. So I would do that in the morning, then go to SNL and work all night. And I can't sustain that forever. I can't do it," she added.

Shrill is based on the Lindy West book of the same name and premiered its first season in March. The show follows Annie Easton, a journalist who wants to change her life but not her body.
