Netflix has picked up “Mr. Iglesias,” the Gabriel Iglesias comedy, for a second season, the streamer announced on Thursday.
The multi-camera comedy stars the comedian as a good-natured public high school teacher who works at his alma mater and teaches gifted, misfit kids to not only save them from being “counseled out” by a bully bureaucrat assistant principal, but also to help them unlock their full potential.
Showrunner Kevin Hench will return for Season 2 and will serve as executive producer alongside Iglesias, Ron DeBlasio and Joe Meloche.
The sitcom was ordered to series last year as part of a larger deal between Netflix and Iglesias which also included two stand-up specials.
