Broad City follows two young women in New York City on their crazy adventures with boys, drugs, and most importantly, each other. The cast spoke about how unlike many other shows currently on TV, the main romantic focus of this show isn’t about the girls’ relationships with men, but rather with each other. The main romance of the show is their friendship. The show started as a web series and just this past year was picked up by Comedy Central, which debuted its first season to much success. The panel spoke about what we can expect from season 2, including notable guest stars like Seth Rogen. Fans of the show will not be disappointed, check out the trailer for the upcoming season below!
