The Dark and Twisted Story of a Clown

Zach Galifianakis of Hangover and Between Two Ferns fame will be back with the second season of his comedy drama series ‘Baskets’. The series follows the life of Chip Baskets, who desperately struggles to fulfil his dream and become a professionally trained French Clown, but faces many difficulties. In season two, the Baskets family is at its most fragile.

Losing his wife and his rodeo job, Chip (Zach Galifianakis) jumps on a train to get the hell out of Bakersfield, but a gang of gutter punks, the police, and a sudden death drag him right back into the drama he tried to escape. Dale’s (Zach Galifianakis) marriage crumbles as his unrequited love affair with Martha (Martha Kelly) deepens, and Christine (Louie Anderson), who dedicated her life to her sons with little affection in return, takes her own happiness into consideration for once and finds romance on the way. The season 1 of the series received favorable reviews from critics and viewers. Season 2 will air on Star World Premiere HD every Saturday from 10pm starting on January 20.
