Apple Renews Animated Musical Comedy 'Central Park' for a Third Season

[MacRumors]

Ahead of the premiere of the second season of Apple TV+ show "Central Park," Apple today announced that it has renewed the animated series for a third season.

Series creator Loren Bouchard announced the renewal this afternoon, noting that season two and season three of the show will bring 29 new episodes and "something like a hundred and fifteen new songs."

The first three episodes of "Central Park" season two are set to premiere on Apple TV+ on Friday, June 25, with new episodes following weekly after that. In the second season, the Tillerman family will continue to navigate living in and caring for the world's most famous park.

In season two of "Central Park," the Tillerman family continues to navigate living in and caring for the world's most famous park. Molly experiences the trials and tribulations of adolescence, Cole is challenged by a truly embarrassing moment at school, Paige continues to chase down the mayor's corruption story, and Owen juggles managing the park, his staff and his family all with a smile on his face. Meanwhile, Bitsy inches ever closer to her sinister goal of claiming Central Park as her own; with Helen by her side, eternally wondering whether she's made it into Bitsy's will. Every step of the way, we are guided along by our friendly, fumbling, fiddler narrator, Birdie.

"Central Park" characters are voiced by Josh Gad, Leslie Odom Jr., Daveed Diggs, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Kathryn Hahn, Tituss Burgess, and Stanley Tucci.

The first season of "Central Park" was recognized with an Emmy Award nomination for Leslie Odom Jr., and it has been nominated for this year's NAACP Image Awards in the Outstanding Animated Series category.

Cannot wait!!!

The singing ruins it for me.

The singing ruins it for me.

It's like juuuuust one song too many. Shame too cause it's funny.

 

[TheDailyApple]

I’ve never understood the appeal of shows like this.

 

[MrTechAdvice]

This show will easily get 4-8 seasons.

Meh.... I really wanted to like this one, but didn't. Bob's Burgers was great -- but Central Park's characters and plots feel too similar, but worse with the excessive need to pretend the whole thing is a Broadway animated musical.

Central Park does have its funny moments. But that's not enough to keep me watching it.

 

[hlfway2anywhere]

I enjoy Bob's burgers but this show is forcing it too much for me.

 

[augustrushrox]

I didn't even know there had been a second season.

 

[fonzy91]

Excited for season two!

I didn't even know there had been a second season.

There hasn’t yet. It premieres on June 25th as stated in the article.

The singing is the entire point of the show. Its a musical.

That is like saying you hated Wicked, because the singing ruined it for you.

 

[thomas040]

I honestly was bored with the first episode. Still haven't finished it. There was no apparent crux of conflict to keep me interested.

The stuffing ruined Oreo's for me.

 

[Jxdawg]

Loved the first season. Totally hilarious.

 

[chucker23n1]

Couldn’t get into it (yet?). CExG was great, so I’m not completely against musicals, but this show seems a bit over the top.

 

[macsareveryinteresting]

I’m not a big fan of music comedies but I guess I’ll give it a try.

 

[ArtOfWarfare]

That is like saying you hated Wicked, because the singing ruined it for you.

Iiiiiiiii'm through accepting music, 'cuz someone says I must.

 

[MacLawyer]

Is there any way Apple TV on my devices and still access the content I purchased from Apple? I don't hate AppleTV, I just don't find their content interesting. Hoping that deleting the App will stop reminders from Apple about all their new stuff. Cheers.

 

[Johnny907]

Watched an episode, couldn’t get into it. Same with The Great North, which was actually more offensive to this Alaskan than Northern Exposure was. Is it not possible for writers of these shows to actually VISIT Alaska before deciding to base the show around it?
Anyway, the quirkiness that worked for Bobs Burgers just didn’t for these shows.

Oh, was thinking to give this a chance at some point because it was animated and heard it was funny but actually didn’t know it was a musical! And seems to be a lot of a musical?

I’ll try I guess but sadly AI hate these with a passion, don’t know why, they come off as forced, pedantic, show off-y, fake, and more for me... I have liked one to date “LaLa Land” which is maybe light on this (except the intro scene, totally overdone the whole intro).

 

[blizaine]

This show is incredible. I was skeptical but it’s hilarious and the music is so good. My wife and I have been through season 1 twice and will likely watch it a third time before season 2.

 

[matrix07]

I’ve never understood the appeal of shows like this.

I think the animation is beautiful.

 

[incoherent_1]

I’m a frequent critic of ATV+, but this show is so clever. I love that they dared to try something so different.

 

[macduke]

My wife and I love Bob's Burgers, but we didn't really get into this one, and she's even a fan of musicals. It's not bad it's just not worth my time.
