“The Righteous Gemstones” has been renewed for Season 3 at HBO.
The news comes as the comedy series is still airing its second season, which is due to air its finale on Feb. 27 on the premium cabler. Season 2 kicked off on Jan. 9 with the first two episodes dropping, with new episodes airing on HBO and HBO Max weekly after that. Reports began circulating that the show had gotten an early Season 3 renewal in October 2021 after executive producer David Gordon Green said in an interview that the renewal was happening, but HBO has not officially commented until now.
The show tells the story of a world-famous televangelist family with a long tradition of deviance, greed and charitable work. Season 2 finds the Gemstone family threatened by outsiders from both the past and present who wish to destroy their empire.

FX has chosen not to go forward with a second season of the animated comedy “Chozen,” while “Legit” will not go forward with a third season on Fxx. “Chozen,” which premiered in January, followed a gay white gangster rapper who's attempting to rebuild his career following his release from prison.

FX's newest animated series "Chozen" premiered to decent ratings Monday night (Jan. 13), holding onto most of its "Archer" lead-in and drawing 1.8 million viewers over its three airings.
It's a pretty good start for a show that, in its own executive producer's words, is a little bit "dangerous."
"We like to try to figure out a way to take a subject or to take a person that usually an audience isn't used to rooting for or following, and you just figure out a way to make them used to it," executive producer Danny McBride ("Eastbound & Down") says Tuesday at the TCA winter press tour. "[We] figure out a way to kind of push boundaries to maybe reveal new truths that people weren't thinking before."

You can get a double dose of Bobby Moynihan this week with the Jan. 18 return of Saturday Night Live (host and musical guest Drake) and Monday night’s premiere of Chozen, the new animated FX comedy in which he voices the titular gay white ex-con rapper. Yes, you read that right. “As you know, FX is fearless,” Moynihan says. “Every other line on the show is pretty crazy. Chozen does a lot of crazy things. I’m gonna go with, like, the least crazy, actually: There’s a scene where he’s smoking a joint and finds a hot dog on the floor,...

Bobby Moynihan, the driving force behind the new animated gay-rapper comedy Chozen, comes by his hip-hop influences honestly. "I grew up listening to a lot of Snoop Dogg and the Wu-Tang Clan," he says. "Actually, I was a huge Wu-Tang fan." The SNL star, 36, voices the namesake protagonist, a gay, thuggish Mc who emerges from prison to plot a return to the game – and revenge on the thug who sent him there (Phantasm, voiced by the Wu's Method Man). "To get to work with him was just insane," adds Moynihan.

The Spoils of Babylon is an upcoming American comedy miniseries by Saturday Night Live veterans Andrew Steele and Matt Piedmont, directed by Piedmont (Casa de Mi Padre), and starring Tobey Maguire, Kristen Wiig, Tim Robbins, Jessica Alba, Val Kilmer, Haley Joel Osment, Michael Sheen, and Will Ferrell. It’s doubtful that any other sitcom on the small screen will be able to rival the star-power of this IFC mock-miniseries. The show is intended to be a spoof of the epic-scale TV events prevalent on American network television in the 1970s and 80s such as The Thorn Birds and Rich Man, Poor Man. Spoils of Babylon comes from the Funny or Die production house, and premieres at 10 p.m. Et Jan. 9 on IFC.

I’m going to go out on a limb and predict that Chozen, the new half hour animated series that premieres on Monday, Jan 13th, is going to be a really big hit for FX. It’s a ballsy show with a tight little premise: a white gay rapper, fresh out of prison, is determined to become the rap god he was meant to be. Lewd, crude and sure to prompt an outraged letter campaign or two, the show also happens to be very funny and deserves some support from Lgbt audiences for offering a sympathetic and truly original gay lead character.
Some thoughts after screening the first several episodes.
