Showtime has extended the number of episodes for animated series Our Cartoon President so that it can cover the forthcoming Presidential Election alongside doc series The Circus.
The third season of Our Cartoon President, which is exec produced by Stephen Colbert, launches on January 26. The series, which is produced by CBS Television Studios, follows the “tru-ish misadventures” of the 45th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, and his merry band of advisors and family members.
The first season of the show introduced audiences to Trump’s attempts at “winning” the State of the Union address, comforting disaster victims and rolling back President Obama’s accomplishments, while season two has taken aim at the crowded Democratic presidential primary field.

The Circus is coming back to town, just in time for the Donald Trump impeachment inquiry. Showtime said today that Season 5 of its political documentary seires hosted by John Heilemann, Mark McKinnon and Alex Wagner will premiere at 8 p.m. Sunday, January 26.
After covering the burgeoning field of Democratic presidential candidates and their campaigns around the country, along with the Ukraine scandal that led to the historic impeachment inquiry into Trump’s conduct, Season 4 had its finale on November 10.
Of course, plenty has happened in Washington, D.C., since then — at least one or two things that you might have heard about — and even more era-defining news will be made in the weeks before the documentary series’ late-January return. Along with the impeachment ruckus, the series’ new will cover the first caucus and primary voting as Democrats decide who will face Trump in November. Assuming, as we should, that he...

Showtime’s aptly titled docuseries The Circus is set to return with eight new episodes in the fall, this time shining the spotlight on the many Democrats who aspire to challenge President Donald Trump in 2020.
Tracking the largest field of presidential candidates in U.S. history, Season 4 of The Circus will continue at 8 p.m. Sunday, September 22. Co-hosts John Heilemann, Alex Wagner and Mark McKinnon return to crisscross the country as the unprecedented cast of Democrats barnstorm key states in their quests to unseat Trump.
Meanwhile, the president is pursuing re-election amid a growing threat of impeachment and looming international crises.
Last season, the quick-turnaround series explored the shifting power dynamics on Capitol Hill as Democrats took control of the House under Speaker Nancy Pelosi. It also covered the escalating drama around Trump’s White House as it grappled with mounting legal entanglements, the longest government shutdown in U.S.
