Polyromantic comedy “You Me Her” has been renewed for Season 2 and Season 3 on AT&T and DirecTV’s Audience network, it was announced Thursday.
Each new season will consist of 10 episodes. The series stars Greg Poehler, Rachel Blanchard and Priscilla Faia.

Their arrangement soon breaks free of its financial bonds to evolve into a meaningful romance with real consequences, posing the question to viewers: What if your best, truest life looked nothing like you imagined? Would you be brave enough to live it?
