Showtime renews Jim Carrey comedy series ‘Kidding’ for season 2

Ordered for 10 episodes next season, the comedy series that is created by Dave Holstein centers on Jeff, aka Mr Pickles.

Showtime has ordered season 2 of its comedy series 'Kidding', starring two time Golden Globe winner Jim Carrey in his first series regular role in more than two decades.

Ordered for 10 episodes next season, the comedy series created by Dave Holstein centers on Jeff, aka Mr Pickles (Carrey), an icon of children’s television and a beacon of kindness and wisdom to America’s impressionable young minds and the parents who grew up with him. But when this beloved personality’s family begins to implode, Jeff finds no fairytale, fable or puppet will guide him through this crisis, which advances faster than his means to cope.
