Created as an affectionate love letter to Portland, Oregon,
Portlandia expands the boundaries of gentle satire and social commentary. Nothing is safe this season as Fred and Carrie have fun with bacon mania, couples sharing finances, technology overload, wannabe musicians, dog lovers and more. Portlandia's most familiar faces will encounter new characters such as eco-terrorists Benji and Dakota, vivid storytellers Robert and Gabriella, and restaurant workers Troy and Lillian.
Shot entirely on location in Portland,
Portlandia is co-created and co-written by
Fred Armisen,
Carrie Brownstein and Jonathan Krisel, who is also the series director.
Portlandia is executive produced by
Lorne Michaels and produced by Broadway Video.
Portlandia seasons one, two and three are available now on Netflix, just in time for viewers to catch up over the holidays in time for Portlandia's return in the New Year.
