About “Avenue 5” Season 2
The premise of the series is a bit different from the sort of sharp political satire that Iannucci brought to “Veep,” “The Thick of It,” and “In the Loop” before that. On the space cruise, Herman Judd (Josh Gad) is the owner and Ryan Clark (Hugh Laurie) is the captain. The first season began with the leaders trying to hide that they had brought the ship off course and would be stuck on it for years.
Avenue 5
40 years in the future, space captain Ryan Clark and the crew of the luxury space cruise ship Avenue 5 navigate disgruntled passengers and unexpected events after experiencing technical difficulties onboard.
It was something of a “Gilligan’s Island” in space, and the second season picks up five months later, with the ship still off course. In addition to Laurie and Gad, the cast includes Zach Woods, Rebecca Front, Suzy Nakamura, and Lenora Crichlow.
The new season of “Avenue 5” will run for eight seasons. The series debuted shortly before the start of the pandemic, which led to a delay in filming for the second season. In the new season, one episode will arrive each week, while there’s no word yet on whether there will be a third season.
