Amy Schumershared the news with herLife & BethcostarMichael Cerathat the hit Hulu series has been renewed for a second season — but the call didn’t quite go as planned due to some technical difficulties.
“Everybody’s been saying great things about it,” Cera replied.
“I know, it’s so nice, it really resonated,” Schumer continued, “and they believe in our chemistry too.”
Then, Schumer delivered the happy news.
“We’ve both been waiting to hear if we were gonna get another season so the good news I have for you is that we’re officially picked up for season 2,” Schumer announced."
But when Cera had seemingly no reaction, Schumer realized he might not have heard her.
“Michael could you hear me?” she asks.
As theArrested Developmentstar walks around the house looking for a better connection, Schumer proceeds to tell him the news over and over again — but he misses it every time.
“Michael I’m just gonna go, okay? Just forget it, it was good to see you,” she says, growing impatient.
Before dropping the call, Cera shows an ant infestation in his house, and how he’s been able to catch them all in a bowl. “Good catching up though,” Schumer says, before turning off the call in utter confusion.
“Communication with your co-star is key! #michaelcera #greatteam,” Schumer wrote in the post’s caption.
In season one ofLife & Beth, Schumer stars as the titular character Beth, whose life appears to be relatively good on paper with her wine distributor job in Manhattan and long-term relationship. But an unexpected incident pushes her to reevaluate her life, including the hopes she has for her future.
Beth also realizes she has resorted to “following” around her current boyfriend in a “sad” way, leading her to eventually break up with him. “I’m never dating again,” she says in a trailer for the show.

In addition to starring inLife & Beth, Schumer wrote, directed and executive-produced the show. She recently opened up about how the series includes aspects of her own life.
“It’s based on themes from my life. But there is stuff that Beth does that really happened,” she toldEntertainment Weekly. “There’s an episode where she flashes some boys. That happened to me. And episode 9 has a dark moment that’s real.”
Giving an overall summation of the series, the comedian said: “It’s about so much.”
“It’s really what I am thinking about every day, which is releasing your own shame and fear,” she continued. “Because of these early traumas, we arm ourselves, and it’s about letting go and trusting and how to let yourself figure out how to be happy.”
Life & Bethseason 1 debuted March 18 on Hulu, season 2 does not yet have a premiere date.
