Starz has confirmed their hit comedy series Survivor’s Remorse has earned a fourth season. Season three of the series has been averaging 2.9 million viewers which is up more than 20% over season two, according to the network. Glee‘s Mike O’Malley is Survivor’s Remorse‘s showrunner and executive produces. The cast is led by Jessie T. Usher and includes RonReaco Lee, Tichina Arnold, Teyonah Parris, and Erica Ash.

“I’m incredibly proud of the team at Survivor’s Remorse and what we’ve built,” said LeBron James. “The show grew so much this year, attracting new fans and reaching new levels of popularity. I want to thank all the fans who’ve made Survivor’s Remorse a success and the team at Starz for all of their support.”

“We are thrilled to renew Survivor’s Remorse for a fourth season,” said Carmi Zlotnik, managing director of Starz. “Critics have consistently called it one of the smartest and funniest comedies on television and we are delighted to see audiences embracing the characters and the storyline with that same enthusiasm. Mike O’Malley and his tremendously talented team of writers and actors boldly tackle today’s most pressing issues, from race, class, sex, and politics, to love and loss, but with such a deft touch that nothing ever feels heavy-handed. In the Calloways, O’Malley has created a modern family bound by heart and humor, who remain completely relatable despite dealing with the ‘pro-money and pro-problems’ that come with Cam’s position as one of the top basketball stars in the nation.”

The Plot: Survivor’s Remorse follows the life of Cam Calloway (Usher), a hard-working, young basketball star who is thrust into the limelight after signing a huge contract with a pro basketball team in Atlanta. In Season Three, fame and fortune can’t shield pro-basketballer Cam Calloway against tragedy. Each member of the Calloway family copes with the fallout of Uncle Julius’ accident in their own way. Family bonds are tested, as a new season of “Survivor’s Remorse” explores themes of love and loss, the comforts and doubts found in religion, the danger of seeking out ancestral roots, the power of bad parenting, the pitfalls of public utterances, and the pain of dredging up the past.
