'Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt' Season 2: Creator Tina Fey Talks Netflix, Ratings And Broadcast TV

Tina Fey has already been a part of some of the most bits of pop culture of the past few years, from "Saturday Night Live" to the sitcom based on it, "30 Rock," as well as the beloved high school film "Mean Girls" - and now that she's gone on to Netflix, she speaks about her latest project, the "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" season 2.

The first pure comedy helmed by Netflix (after all, "Orange is the New Black" has been officially dubbed a drama now by the Television Academy), the first season of the Ellie Kemper-starring show was a major hit with critics and audiences alike, and now Fey talks about what's next for the "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" season 2.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the latest "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" season 2 comments came during Netflix's Television Critics Association Press Tour last Tuesday, as Fey assured the press they weren't planning on adding n*dity or violence to the next season, keeping the show at PG-13 rating.

However, as Jezebel reports, the "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" season 2 begins production this August, so Fey and co-creator Robert Carlock are already preparing to take a step further to take more liberties on the show - it'll be an important change from season 1, the show was created entirely for network television.

The first season of "Kimmy" was passed on by NBC after it had already been shot in its entirety, which prompted Netflix to buy it for an "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" season 2 and then a third one, but that meant subsequent seasons might end up different in tone than the first one, which had bigger constraints.

Fey told the press not to worry too much, though, saying they just wanted to just "potentially offend an advertiser or the NFL."

According to Collider, the people behind "Kimmy" might also play around with the length of the episodes, as Netflix doesn't require them to be "21.15" minutes long.

Also, the "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" season 2 will see the return of Kimmy's boyfriend Dong (Ki Hong Lee) after he married someone else for a Green Card.
