The MGM-owned premium cable network has renewed the Chris O’Dowd and Ray Romano comedy for a third season.The dark comedy based on the 1990s Elmore Leonard novel and subsequent feature film will be back after another season as a critical favourite (the show has a 96 percent rating on RottenTomatoes.com). Holmes (Shameless) will return as showrunner on the drama, whose first season is now available to stream on Netflix after producers MGM Television secured an SVOD deal with the company.
