On the heels of its Golden Globe Award wins for best comedy series and best actor for Michael Douglas, Netflix has renewed “The Kominsky Method” for a second season.  

The series, in which Douglas stars as the titular actor-turned-acting coach and Alan Arkin plays his agent and best friend, is a buddy comedy about aging in Hollywood. It marks Douglas’ return to series television for the first time since ”The Streets of San Francisco” in the 1970s.

Created by Chuck Lorre (“The Big Bang Theory,” “Mom,” “Young Sheldon”), who was honored with the Creative Achievement Award at the Golden Globes, “Kominsky” will begin production later this month on eight new half-hour episodes.
