Comedy Central has ordered a second season of Awkwafina is Nora From Queens, days ahead of the series premiere. Awkwafina, who picked up a Golden Globe earlier this month for her appearance in The Farewell, created the show, and stars.
Awkwafina Is Nora From Queens premieres Jan. 22. It is inspired by her real-life growing up in Queens, NY. Raised by her Dad (BD Wong) and Grandma (Lori Tan Chinn) alongside her cousin (Bowen Yang), Nora Lin leans on her family as she navigates life and young adulthood in outer-borough NYC.
