Fox has officially given a second season order to the half-hour comedy series, The Mick. One of the season’s best new comedies, The Mick has been averaging 8 million viewers over its first season run. The series was created by writers John Chernin and Dave Chernin and stars Kaitlin Olson in the title role. The cast also includes Sofia Black-D’Elia as Sabrina, Jack Stanton as Ben, Thomas Barbusca as Chip, Carla Jimenez as Alba, and Scott MacArthur as Jimmy.
“From the earliest stages of development, all of us at FOX had enormous faith in The Mick, and it hasn’t disappointed,” said David Madden, President, Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company. “Kaitlin is a fearless comedic force, and the rest of the cast has just proven to be phenomenal. John and Dave Chernin have a very clear vision of what this show is, and they execute on that vision each week to perfection. We really couldn’t be happier with The Mick, and we’re so thrilled to renew the series for a second season.”
John Chernin, Dave Chernin, Nicholas Frenkel, Oly Obst, Randall Einhorn (the director of the series’ pilot) executive produce, with Kaitlin Olson co-executive producing.
The Plot: The Mick is a comedy about an unapologetic degenerate (Olson) who suddenly finds herself stuck raising her spoiled niece (Black-D’Elia) and nephews (Barbusca, Stanton) in affluent Greenwich, CT. It’s pretty much everything she never wanted. Regardless, she’s determined to rise to the occasion and transform these little monsters into honest, hard-working, decent members of society – something she knows absolutely nothing about.
On the February 21st all-new episode, “The Baggage,” airing at 8:30pm ET/PT on FOX, Mickey’s unwanted suitors team up to thwart her new romance. Meanwhile, Sabrina and Alba teach Ben a lesson in responsibility.
