"Inside Amy Schumer" renewed for second season

It turns out Amy Schumer's brand of brash, self-deprecating humor is just what Comedy Central ordered -- so the cable channel has ordered some more.

Schumer just tweeted that her new show, "Inside Amy Schumer," which launched in April, has been picked up for a second season: "Hey! #InsideAmy Schumer got picked up for Season 2! Thanks @ComedyCentral New episode tomorrow at 10:30/9:30 Central." It will have 10 episodes and is set to premiere in 2014.

The series features Schumer's take on sex, relationships and life through stand-up routines, man-on-the-street interviews and scripted vignettes, a la FX's "Louie." The pilot of the show was Comedy Central's highest-rated series premiere of 2013.

The 31-year-old actress and stand-up comedienne has also attracted other big comedic names to her show, including Michael Showalter, Amber Tamblyn, Michael Ian Black, Rob Schneider, Abby Elliott, Tom Papa and Lisa Lampanelli.

Comedy Central has previously announced renewals for other freshman show including "Kroll Show," "The Jeselnik Offensive" and "Nathan For You."

"Inside Amy Schumer" airs Tuesdays on Comedy Central at 10:30 p.m. ET.
