"Crashing" has a new trailer with new comedians helping out ol' Petey

Crashing was a hit earlier this year. HBO is bringing it back in early 2018 paired with Divorce. Along with Artie Lang, this new season is set to feature John Mulaney, Bill Burr, Jeff Ross, Beth Stelling, the Lucas Brothers, Whitney Cummings, Rachel Feinstein, and more. Crashing returns January 14th at 10:30 PM.

We reviewed every episode of the first season of Crashing saying "It started as a show about Pete Holmes being cheated on and his goal of becoming a comedian. He’s achieved said goal (and lost it) but is nowhere near finding another chance for love. Behind the scenes, the writing for the first six episodes was astounding. Directing was nothing short of great...All in all, Crashing’s freshman season was a solid effort that really excelled in a lot of areas."

"Crashing" and "Divorce" return to HBO in January

Great shows aren't just created. They're worked on tirelessly until they have the right formula and aired to the right niche of people. HBO manages to showcase a bunch of very good shows from very funny people. With the threat of streaming constantly releasing new shows, the premium cabler has been forced to up its own quota while also maintaining the highest quality possible.

To that end, two of HBO's very good shows are coming back very soon. The Pete Holmes created Crashing and the sad/funny Divorce starring Sarah Jessica Parker return for their second seasons this coming January. HBO announced the news via press release saying both will premiere on Sunday, January 14th.

We also reviewed Divorce's for our First Look series. We gave it a favorable review saying "[Sharon] Horgan’s Divorce is a new direction on the same plain as her other show. With the ending 180 turn of an impending divorce, it’s going to be an unusual display of what love really means for these three characters."

HBO has its own comedy line ups

Not one to be outdone by some streaming service, HBO announced its upcoming standup specials. Jerrod Carmichael, Pete Holmes and TJ Miller are all lined up to play on the premium network. Actually, this will mark Carmichael's second special for HBO as his Love At The Store. This new one is coming next fall. Holmes, having released a couple of hours already on Comedy Central, comes to the network with Faces and Sounds which he taped this past April. His show Crashing also premieres next year on HBO. TJ Miller's Meticulously Ridiculous tapes September 16 in Denver as part of his The Meticulously Ridiculous Tour. The Silicon Valley star's special comes out next year as well.

Those aren't the only comedy offerings the network has. Russell Simmons' All Def Comedy tapes on September 7 at Avalon Theatre in Los Angeles. The show is to be hosted by Tony Rock as he takes the audience through sets of up and coming comedians. And finally, Tracy Ullman's Tracy Ullman Show premieres on Friday, October 28. The six episode sketch series features both famous and regular British people in wacky bits. Think Dame Judy Dench and Angela Merkel, both of whom are slated to appear.
