IFC has given the comedy series Portlandia a two season renewal order, guaranteeing fans of the show will be able to watch it at least through a seventh season. Seasons six and seven will consist of 10 new half hour episodes each, with Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein back both in front of and behind the camera.

“We are so excited to get to do more Portlandia with IFC,” said Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein in a joint statement. “Getting to work with Jon and our talented writers and crew, it really is our favorite thing in the world. Also, we get to spend more time in Portland!”

“Portland may be a place where young people go to retire, but IFC is not retiring Portlandia,” added IFC President Jennifer Caserta. “And if you order a book from Toni and Candace at the Feminist Bookstore right now, it might even arrive by the time season seven rolls around.”

Portlandia – created by Armisen, Brownstein, and Joanthan Krisel – is shot in Portland, Oregon and has featured an impressive array of guest stars over its five seasons. Among those showing up in recurring roles have been Steve Buscemi, Jeff Goldblum, Kyle MacLachlan, Jason Sudeikis, and Olivia Wilde. And Bill Hader, Penny Marshall, Patton Oswalt, Aubrey Plaza, Parker Posey, Tim Robbins, Eddie Vedder, and Kristen Wiig have all put in appearances.

The Plot:

Over the past five seasons, Portlandia has expanded our knowledge of the peculiar characters of America’s damp northwest. As we’ve come to know and love them—Malcolm and Kris with their helicopter parenting, Toni and Candace with their overzealous dedication to a cause, Bryce and Lisa with their taxidermy and pickling, or Doug and Claire’s binge-watching—their idiosyncrasies have evolved from niche to normal.
