Stan has today confirmed the acclaimed comedy series Rutherford Falls, co-created by Michael Schur and starring Ed Helms has been renewed for a second season.

Rutherford Falls represents a breakthrough moment in Native representation in comedy television both in front of and behind the camera. 

“We are beyond ecstatic for Season 2! I’m probably slightly biased, but Rutherford Falls is made by the best writers, cast, and crew, on earth. Not to mention Ed Helms and Mike Schur, two of the nicest guys in the business,”

said Co-Creator, Executive Producer and Showrunner Sierra Teller Ornelas.
