James' survivor's Remorse' Renewed For Fourth Season On Starz

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The summer of LeBron James continued this week as Starz announced it has picked up his comedy series "Survivor's Remorse" for a fourth season.

The renewal came on the same day that James' reality show "Cleveland Hustles" premiered on CNBC.

"I'm incredibly proud of the team at 'Survivor's Remorse' and what we've built," James, who is an executive producer and has appeared on the show, said in a statement. "The show grew so much this year, attracting new fans and reaching new levels of popularity. I want to thank all the fans who've made 'Survivor's Remorse' a success and the team at Starz for all of their support."

The show, a fictional portrayal about a young basketball player's life after signing a huge pro contract (sound familiar?), has enjoyed ratings increases this season. The first five episodes have averaged 2.9 million viewers on all platforms, a 20-percent increase over season two. According to Starz, it's among the top scripted programs on cable among African-American viewers.

"We are thrilled to renew 'Survivor's Remorse' for a fourth season," Starz executive Carmi Zlotnik said. "Critics have consistently called it one of the smartest and funniest comedies on television and we are delighted to see audiences embracing the characters and the storyline with that same enthusiasm."

"Survivor's Remorse" airs Sundays at 10 p.m. on Starz.
