The sitcom Mr. Mayor is coming back with season 2 by next year. The series is produced by legendary duo Tina Frey and Robert Carlock, who made shows like 30 Rock and a comedy series called The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, which ran for four seasons straight.

The duo is also responsible for bringing sitcom legend Ted Danson onboard for Mr. Mayor. However, due to Covid-19, the production of the show was forced to shut down last year. Mr. Mayor was first considered a spinoff of 30 Rock, but when Alec Baldwin dropped out, the show went to Ted Danson and then became an instant hit after airing a few episodes.
