Sherman's Showcase renewed for Season 2 at IFC and AMC

Variety

Bashir Salahuddin and Diallo Riddle's variety sketch show's pickup comes two days before their Sherman's Showcase Black History Month Spectacular is scheduled to air on both networks on Juneteenth, which has been called perfect timing due to the recent focus on African-American history, police brutality and racism in the aftermath of the George Floyd killing. “Sherman McDaniels has been a staple in American culture for almost 50 years and shows no signs of slowing down…or aging at all,” said Salahuddin and Riddle in a statement. “We’re thrilled to return to the uniquely nerdy, quirky, silkily soulful and musical world of ‘Sherman’s Showcase.’ It’s all our favorite things and now it’s on AMC and IFC. Season 2’s so big, it needs two networks.”
