Because triples are best, I Think You Should Leave With Tim Robinson has finally set the premiere date for its much-anticipated third season, just under a year after Netflix announced its renewal.
And coincidentally, the debut is slated for May 30, the day before the 2023 Primetime Emmy qualifiers were barred, meaning the third season of Robinson’s six-episode absurdist sketch comedy series is in the running for this year’s nominations will be the biggest night of television .
Created and written by Robinson and Zach Kanin, Netflix promises that in the third season of I Think You Should Leave, the duo will “bring their distinct comedy style and observational humor to the fore and continue to dig into the most bizarre and mundane of situations.” of life will make fun of.”
Premiere date news was announced on Friday, just as Robinson and Kanin are scheduled to be honored with the Sketch Comedy Award at Variety’s Power of Comedy event at SXSW.
Alongside Robinson and Kanin, I Think You Should Leave is produced by Lonely Island crew Akiva Schaffer, Andy Samberg and Jorma Taccone, Ali Bell for Party Over Here, Alex Bach and Dan Powell for Irony Point and Alice Matthias.
“One of the great things about ‘I Think You Should Leave’ is that Tim Robinson and Zach Kanin are writing every single script,” Bach said in an interview with Variety last April. “By and large, they both do most of the writing process. And they’re just waiting for the sketches to come to them. It’s just more about the writing really being what they want, and that’s what’s delaying everything. No delays, but that’s why we have longer periods between seasons. And they have other things going on too. They don’t produce sketches like they may have done on SNL. They just won the second WGA award for Season 2, so it’s working. And so we’re like, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
In 2022, “I Think You Should Leave With Tim Robinson” received its first Emmy nominations, with a nomination for Short-Form Comedy, Drama or Variety Series and a win for Robinson for Actor in a Short-Form Comedy or Drama Series . The show also won the 2020 and 2022 WGA Awards for Comedy/Variety Sketch Series.
