Irish comedy “Obituary” is gearing up for a second season, Variety has learned.

The popular black comedy, which stars Siobhán Cullen as an underpaid obituary writer who commits murder, was written by Ray Lawlor.
The plan is for Season 2 to run for six episodes, Variety understands, with Lawlor returning to helm the script. The show’s original producers — Magamedia and APC Studios — are back on board, with Hulu contributing funding.
Casting has not yet been confirmed, but it seems unlikely the show will return without lead actor Cullen, who also recently starred in "The Dry" and the Netflix series "Bodkin."
