The lazy Tacomanian fire department is coming back with new adventures!
The blazing truTV series Tacoma FD has been renewed for a third season. Here’s everything you need to know.
The sitcom is set in a firehouse in one of the rainiest cities in the USA — Tacoma, Washington.
Fires are few here, giving the city’s fire department a lot of time and the firefighters keep busy with plenty of shenanigans like creative competitions and friendly rivalry with other neighbouring FDs.
Chief Terry McConky (Heffernan) and Captain Eddie Penisi (Lemme) lead the firehouse antics and are joined by an eclectic crew played by Eugene Cordero (Andy), Marcus Henderson (Granny), Gabriel Hogan (Ike), and Hassie Harrison (Lucy).
The ratings for Tacoma FD may not have exactly been on fire but truTV wants a third season. Season two of Tacoma FD averages a 0.16 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 302,000 viewers.
Compared to season one, that’s down by 15% in the demo and down by 16% in viewership in the Live+same day ratings.
Yet, truTV has ordered a 13-episode season three for the comedy series. Season two of the series returned earlier this year and ranked among the cable’s top five comedy series.
In its announcement from August 5, truTV also informed the series had demonstrated a season-over-season rating growth.
To date, Tacoma FD Season 2 has reached 11 million viewers, it noted.
“We couldn’t be more proud of the work this team has achieved season after season” said Brett Weitz, General Manager of TBS, TNT, and truTV.
“With Tacoma FD’s fanbase continuing to grow, the show is a huge success story for us, and we can’t wait to see what kind of Station 24 shenanigans Kevin, Steve, and the incredible cast come up with next.”
Weitz also surprised Heffernan and Lemme with the Season 3 pick-up announcement on the episode of Talkoma Feither aired August 6 at 10:30pm ET/PT on truTV.
“I’m incredibly excited — mostly because I get to watch Kevin begin his arduous, six-month mustache-growing process,” said Lemme.
“He only has 12 hair holes in his upper lip, so it takes some time.”
New episodes of Tacoma FD air each Thursday at 10:00pm ET/PT, with the after show Talkoma FD airing at 10:30pm ET/PT on truTV.
Tacoma FD is executive produced by Heffernan and Lemme alongside David Miner and Greg Walter from 3 Arts Entertainment.
