On the heels of last night’s season finale, Comedy Central announced that the adventure will continue for the world’s best self-assessed archaeologist, renewing the original animated comedy Digman!for a second season. The series marks the first to be written and produced by Emmy and Golden Globe winning actor and producer Andy Samberg (Palm Springs) along with co-creator and showrunner Neil Campbell (Brooklyn Nine-Nine).
