"Portlandia" renewed for 2 new seasons

It has been announced that sketch comedy show Portlandia has been renewed for two more seasons with cable channel IFC. Seasons 6 and 7 will consist of 10 episodes each and this renewal makes it one of the longest running comedy shows on cable (although our favourite It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia holds the top position).

If you're not familiar with Portlandia, it is a sketch show created by SNL alum Fred Armisen and punk rocker Carrie Armisen and is a love letter to the Oregon city of Portland and all the weird and wonderful characters that reside in the city. It is directed by co-creator Jonathan Krisel.
