The Chair Company Season 2: What to Know About the HBO Show’s Next Episodes

The Chair Company is not taking a seat.

On Nov. 30, season 1 of the HBO comedy starring Tim Robinson came to an end, with lingering questions remaining about the “vast criminal conspiracy” that his character, Ron, attempted to uncover.

Ron’s quest began in the premiere episode, after an embarrassing moment occurred when a chair collapsed under him during a work presentation. After the humiliation, Ron was determined to prove that it was no accident, but his sleuthing only led to more mysteries.

Over the season, Ron’s paranoia took over his life and the lives of those around him, including his wife, Barb, played by Lake Bell.

“I think what people really respond to is the fact that it is so unexpected and that while it’s very relatable and accessible,” Bell told the New York Post in November 2025, while discussing the success of the series. “This is a family that you could see anywhere – and yet, there are things behind the curtain that allow for this anxious hilarity to ensue.”

So, with the first season of the HBO show now over, here’s what to know about The Chair Company season 2.

Will there be The Chair Company season 2?

Yes, The Chair Company has been renewed for a second season.

The announcement was made in November 2025, when HBO revealed that The Chair Company and I Love LA — starring Rachel Sennott — had both been greenlit for sophomore seasons.

“We’re thrilled by the incredible response to The Chair Company and I Love LA,” Amy Gravitt, HBO & HBO Max comedy head and HBO programming exec VP, said in a statement, per Variety. “Both shows confidently carry on the HBO comedy tradition, in their own singular way.”

She continued, “We couldn’t be happier to continue collaborating with Tim, Zach [Kanin, The Chair Company co-creator], Rachel, and their exceptional teams.”

Will Tim Robinson return for The Chair Company season 2?

Robinson is the star and co-creator of The Chair Company, so he will likely come back for the second season, although this hasn’t been officially confirmed.

In addition to The Chair Company, this year, Robinson starred in the film Friendship, with Paul Rudd, which hit theaters in May 2025 and was added to HBO Max later that September.

What will The Chair Company season 2 be about?

Several questions remain unanswered at the end of season 1 of The Chair Company, including the identity of the person behind the conspiracy that has consumed Ron’s obsession.

In a November 2025 interview with TV Insider, Lou Diamond Phillips, who plays Ron’s boss, Jeff, teased that he believed the season 1 finale “will be a springboard for things that will happen in Season 2, so spoiler alert, they don’t kill me yet.”

“I like where this is going potentially,” the actor added. “I think it’s going to create some real interest in who Jeff is and what Jeff’s arc is.”

Even when season 2 rolls around, don’t expect to know too much going in, just the way the creators prefer it.

“When I watch a show or a movie, I don’t want to know anything about it,” co-creator Zach Kanin told Vulture in September 2025. “I would want to just be surprised by everything.”

When will The Chair Company season 2 premiere?

A release date for The Chair Company season 2 has not been announced.

The eight-episode first season premiered on Oct. 12 on HBO and HBO Max. The series was a ratings hit, with it being “HBO’s top freshman comedy in platform history,” according to Variety.

Deadline reported that The Chair Company was the network’s “most-watched comedy series debut in over five years.”

Where can I watch The Chair Company?

The Chair Company is available to stream on HBO Max.
