AT&T Orders 2 Additional Seasons of Entertainment One's Comedy Series "You Me Her"

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., June 9, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Coming off the heels of a successful first season, AT&T* has ordered 2 additional seasons of Entertainment One Television's (eOne) comedy series "You Me Her."

Created and written by Executive Producer and showrunner John Scott Shepherd ("Henry's List of Wrongs," "The Days," and "Save Me"), the series was picked up for 10 new episodes each for seasons 2 and 3. It remains exclusive to AUDIENCE Network for DIRECTV and U-verse customers.

The original cast, which includes Greg Poehler ("Welcome to Sweden"), Rachel Blanchard ("Fargo") and Priscilla Faia ("Rookie Blue"), and the show's executive producers, Alta Loma Entertainment's Peter Jaysen and Alan Gasmer ("Vikings"), will return for the 2 new seasons.

"I appreciate AT&T's commitment to 'You Me Her,' ordering not just 1 but 2 more seasons," said Shepherd. "It benefits us creatively, in our storytelling, and allows us to maintain this spectacular family of cast and crew. Every day is a blast because we get to make something daring, funny and truthful, which bonds us with our viewers in a very cool conversation."

"Our viewers have opened their hearts and minds to embrace the unique relationship between Jack, Emma and Izzy," said Chris Long, senior vice president, Original Content and Production, AT&T. "AUDIENCE strives for compelling story lines and intriguing characters. And we believe in the potential for this show to grow even more as we continue our journey with eOne."

"'You Me Her' is a bold, provocative show that grabs your attention immediately," said John Morayniss, CEO, Entertainment One Television. "We're delighted AT&T has signed on for another 2 more seasons which speaks to the strength of these dynamic characters and storytelling. We're looking forward to seeing how this complicated, polyamorous relationship that John Scott Shepherd has brilliantly created will continue to unfold."

eOne will continue to finance, produce and distribute "You Me Her" worldwide, with John Morayniss, CEO, Gerard Bocaccio, SVP US Scripted Development and Debra Curtis, SVP Current Programming, overseeing for the studio and Jonathan Schwartz producing.

About the show
"You Me Her," television's first "polyamorous romantic comedy," infuses the grounded and relatable sensibilities of an indie romantic comedy with a distinctive twist.

What begins as an impulsive "date" between suburban husband Jack (Poehler) and neophyte escort Izzy (Faia) spins into a whirlwind 3-way affair including Jack's wife Emma (Blanchard), who's been keeping secrets of her own.

Their arrangement soon breaks free of its financial bonds to evolve into a meaningful romance with real consequences, posing the question to viewers: What if your best, truest life looked nothing like you imagined? Would you be brave enough to live it?

DIRECTV and U-verse customers can watch "You Me Her" on U-verse Channel 1114 and DIRECTV Channel 239. They can also stream it on the DIRECTV App and U-verse App for smartphones and tablets, directv.com and uverse.com**.
