'Welcome To Sweden' Picked Up For A Second Season
Welcome to Sweden, the show from executive producer and star Greg Poehler, has been renewed for a second season on NBC.
Welcome to Sweden Renewed
Welcome to Sweden is loosely based on Poehler’s life and follows an American man (Poehler) who moves to Sweden to be with his Swedish girlfriend (Josephine Bornebusch). Welcome to Sweden’s first season is currently airing on NBC, and has featured many high profile guest stars, including Poehler’s sister, Amy Poehler, as well as Will Ferrell, Aubrey Plaza and Gene Simmons. With season 2 on the horizon, Poehler tweeted a few suggestions for dream guest stars, citing Britney Spears, Barack Obama and Hulk Hogan as a few of his top choices.
The show is a particularly risky move for the network, as it features a fair amount of subtitles. In fact, the show has already been picked up for a second season by Swedish television. NBC has not yet announced a release date for the comedy’s second season.
Poehler announced the news with a bilingual tweet, and followed that with a series of tweets thanking the viewers, cast and crew.
Renewed by NBC for season 2!! AND THEY SAID IT COULDN'T BE DONE! Heja Sverige. Vara stolt. Vi gjorde det!!!

Lastly, huge thanks to the peeps at @nbc who continue to support a weird Swedish show with subtitles. #SubtitlesForever #ReadingIsFun

Public shout-out to my S1 writers Josie Bornebusch, Niclas Carlsson and Peter Arrhenius who don't get the cred they deserve. Take a bow! xo
