IFC Takes ‘Maron’ For Second Season

Podcaster/writer/stand-up comedian Marc Maron will be releasing a second season of his semi-autobiographical show Maron again with IFC. The new season will air in 2014 with 13 episodes, three more than the season prior, Indiewire reported.

“In many ways, Marc is a perfect representation of IFC and our approach to comedy,” said IFC president and general manager Jennifer Caserta. “He also seems to be in need of a less dysfunctional family, so we’re happy he’s returning to ours for an expanded second season.”

The show reflects Maron’s real life, a man who hosts a podcast and invites celebrity guests who play themselves (to some degree). The first season included Mark Duplass, Illeana Douglas, Dave Foley, Jeff Garlin, Gina Gershon, Bobcat Goldthwait, Ken Jeong, Sally Kellerman, Andy Kindler, Denis Leary, Aubrey Plaza, Adam Scott, Eric Stoltz and Danny Trejo, Indiewire reported.

With Maron’s life as inspiration for the show, he takes on the roles of creator, executive producer, writer and star of Maron. Luke Matheny, Bobcat Goldthwait and Robert Cohen also serve as episode directors.
