Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein created the show, write the episodes, and star in the series. Guest stars who’ve shown up to visit include Kyle MacLachlan, Chloe Sevigny, Rose Byrne, Jeff Goldblum, Roseanne Barr, George Wendt, and Martina Navratilova. The original comedy has won WGA and Peabody awards and is one of the network’s most popular shows.
“Portlandia has celebrated sustainable local agriculture, underemployment, avian crafting, gender politics, intense bicycle messengers and so much more,” said Jennifer Caserta, president and general manager of IFC.“We can now celebrate two more seasons.”
The Plot:
The first three seasons of Portlandia expanded the boundaries of gentle satire and social commentary. From the feminist shopkeepers Toni and Candace to the overly eco-conscious couple Peter and Nance, Armisen and Brownstein transform into a collection of charmingly earnest characters who make up Portlandia, the quirky, free-range world created as an affectionate love letter to Portland, OR.
