LOS ANGELES, Aug. 24, 2017 - HBO has renewed the anthology series ROOM 104 for a second season, it was announced today by Amy Gravitt, executive vice president, HBO Programming. From brothers Jay and Mark Duplass, the show tells tales of the characters who pass through a single room of a typical American chain motel, ranging from comedy to drama to horror.
"Jay and Mark Duplass are gifted storytellers who have brilliantly reinvented the anthology series for the modern era," said Gravitt. "The format of ROOM 104 offers endless possibilities and opportunities for new talent to experiment, and I look forward to seeing where the series takes us."
