‘Pen15’ and ‘Ramy’ Renewed for Second Seasons at Hulu

Hulu has renewed “Pen15” and “Ramy” for second seasons, the streaming service revealed Wednesday.

“Pen15” stars Maya Erskine and Anna Konkle, who will return for 14 more episodes of the adult comedy. The pair play versions of themselves as thirteen-year-old outcasts in the year 2000, where the best day of their lives can turn into the worst with the stroke of a gel pen. The rest of Erskine and Konkle’s middle school classmates are played by actual thirteen-year-olds.

“Ramy,” which stars Ramy Youssef, has been renewed for a ten 10-episode second season. Youssef plays an Egyptian-American character based on himself named Ramy Hassan. On a spiritual journey in his politically-divided New Jersey neighborhood, he explores the challenges of what it’s like to be caught between a Muslim community who believes life is a moral test and a millennial generation that thinks life has no consequences.
