Netflix is ready to spoof the true crime genre a second time The streaming giant has renewed satire series American Vandal for a second season.
The eight-episode sophomore run will debut in 2018. Co-creators Dan Perrault and Tony Yacenda, as well as showrunner Dan Lagana will all return for season two. The trio also exec produce with Joe Farrell for Funny or Die and Ari Lubet, Josh Lieberman and Michael Rotenberg for 3Arts.
