From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

Broad City has landed a 2-season renewal on Comedy Central. With season 3 about to premiere on the channel 17 February, Deadline has reported the network has confirmed season 4 and 5 have already been picked up. 

It's sublime news; the New York-based comedy set around the misadventures of two wayward best friends remains amongst the most flat-out hilarious television currently airing, propelling its creators Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer into the forefront of comedy's new wave of stars.

It's so good, in fact, Hillary Clinton has confessed to be a huge fan of the show and will guest star in the season 3 premiere. 
 


This coincides with the news the network's picked up a three-episode limited series Time Traveling Bong; fronted by Ilana Glazer, Paul W. Downs, and Lucia Aniello. The show will premiere after Broad City's season 3 finale on 20 April; centring around two cousins who, yes, discover a time-traveling bong. Unfortunately, the darned thing breaks and strands the pair in the space-time continuum. Bummer. 

Downs and Aniello are also currently writing a female fronted spin-off from the 21 Jump Street series; may we pray that with Broad City's future secured, we might see Abbi and Ilana finally make the jump to the big screen?
