F is For Family’s second season is almost upon us – and, judging by the trailer for Bill Burr’s comedy, it’s as NSFW as ever.

Co-created with Michael Price, the animation is as adult as it gets, taking us back to the 1970s and exposing every possible slice of political incorrectness it can – and with as much swearing as possible.

“F Is for Family feels in the mould of King of the Hill, but with more anger and bite; it’s a bit like Family Guy or The Simpsons for its obvious similarities in premise, but the formula doesn’t feel stale, because it’s sharply written,” we wrote in our review of the first run. “There’s no question its scripting, style, and approach is good enough to make you want to get through the short run.”

The show follows the Murphys, who are brought to life by a cast that includes Laura Dern, Justin Long, Sam Rockwell and Burr as the family’s patriarch.

F Is for Family returns for Season 2 on Tuesday 30th May. Here’s the new video:

 

F Is for Family to return this May

F Is for Family Season 2 will premiere this May, Netflix has announced.

From comedian Bill Burr and Emmy award-winner Michael Price, the adult animated comedy takes us back to the 1970s, a time when political correctness, helicopter parenting and indoor smoking bans weren’t part of anyone’s vocabulary, let alone the norm.

Featuring the voices of Laura Dern, Justin Long, Sam Rockwell and Burr, the show follows the dysfunctional, loud, foul-mouthed life of the Murphys, including Korean War vet Frank (Burr), his wife, Sue (Dern), their delinquent son, Kevin (Long) and Vic (Rockwell), Frank’s womanising neighbour.

The show premiered at the end of 2015, before Netflix renewed the show last year for a second run. Season 2 will consist of 10 episodes, up from Season 1’s six.

“F Is for Family feels in the mould of King of the Hill, but with more anger and bite; it’s a bit like Family Guy or The Simpsons for its obvious similarities in premise, but the formula doesn’t feel stale, because it’s sharply written,” we wrote in our review of the first run. “There’s no question its scripting, style, and approach is good enough to make you want to get through the short run.”

All episodes of Season 2 premiere on Tuesday 30th May.
