HBO has picked up the series for an eight additional episodes.

The pick-up comes as something as a surprise, as it was widely believed that last year's third season would be its last, with co-creator Jody Hill admitting, "we always pictured the show as lasting three seasons. It's a kind of trilogy … We think it's going to be the last one, but never say never."
