July 23 (UPI) -- HBO Max said it has renewed its comedy series, That Damn Michael Che, for a second season.

"Michael's comedic style is truly unique and his ability to convey provocative subject matter through a comedic lens is the reason why Season 1 of That Damn Michael Che was such a success. We look forward to working with him again on a second season," Sarah Aubrey, the streaming service's head of original content, said in a statement Thursday.

Che shared the link to a media report about the renewal on his Instagram page.
