Craig Robinson comedy Killing It – in which The Office star plays a down-on-his luck dad trying to make ends meet as a snake killer – has been renewed for a second series.

The show was created by Brooklyn Nine-Nine creator Dan Goor and Luke Del Tredici, who was an executive producer on the police comedy.

Killing It also stars Australian comedian Claudia O’Doherty as his snake-hunting partner and Uber driver,  Jillian.

American streaming platform Peacock renewed the show, which is currently airing on E4 and All4 in the UK.

Susan Rovner, chairman of entertainment content for NBCUniversal Television and Streaming, said: ‘We knew we had a rare gem with Killing It and are thrilled Peacock audiences sank their teeth into this series, led by comedic legend Craig Robinson. We can’t wait to tell more twists and turns of one person’s hilarious, persistent pursuit of the American dream.’

In a statement the creators said: ‘We are immensely grateful to everyone at Universal Television and Peacock. Snake-based economic satire isn’t exactly a familiar, beloved genre of television comedy, but they were fully behind the project from the start. We can’t wait to make more.’
