March 9, 2017 | 09:00AM PT. Zach Galifianakis’ “Baskets” has been renewed for a third season, Variety has learned. The FX comedy, currently entering the home stretch of its 10-episode second season, will return in 2018. Though modestly rated (at best), “Baskets” is well loved at the network and among the criterati, and, critically, brought FX one of its many Emmys last year. “This year ‘Baskets’ has solidified its standing as one of the best comedies on television, building on the momentum of its breakout first season that brought critical acclaim and awards,” said FX Networks president Nick Grad.
