NBC is ordering a second season of summer series Making It, from Universal Television Alternative Studio. Hosted by Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman, former cast members on Parks and Recreation, Making It is a craft-oriented competition series “that celebrates the creativity and craftiness in all of us,” in NBC’s words.
The first season has six episodes. The finale is Sept. 4.
“Seeing firsthand the imagination of a true craftsman and, literally, watching them create something out of nothing is pure gold,” said Paul Telegdy, president, alternative and reality group, NBC Entertainment. “Amy and Nick’s longtime friendship and affection for one another bring the show to a whole other level of fun and we look forward to seeing what season two will bring.”
