Maron has earned a second season on IFC, so says the network’s President and General Manager Jennifer Caserta. The series will return for a 13-episode season two (three more than season one) in 2014.

“In many ways, Marc is a perfect representation of IFC and our approach to comedy,” stated Caserta. “He also seems to be in need of a less dysfunctional family, so we’re happy he’s returning to ours for an expanded second season.”

Marc Maron writes, executive produces, and stars in Maron.

The Plot:

Maron is an honest, comical look at the complicated man behind the “WTF” podcast, writer/comedian Marc Maron. The debut season followed his often misguided attempts to grow professionally as a comedian and emotionally with his estranged dad, Larry (Judd Hirsch), and unconventional new girlfriend, Jennifer (Nora Zehetner) while being aided by his clueless fan-boy assistant Kyle (Josh Brener). Infused with Marc’s trademark relatable tone, the dark-humored comedy has many more experiences to share with viewers next year.

Guest stars acting as pseudo therapists for Marc this past season included Mark Duplass, Illeana Douglas, Dave Foley, Jeff Garlin, Gina Gershon, Bobcat Goldthwait, Ken Jeong, Sally Kellerman, Andy Kindler, Denis Leary, Aubrey Plaza, Adam Scott, Eric Stoltz, and Danny Trejo.
