Trivia

 * The characters are based on the younger versions of Abbi and Ilana who were 22 and 19 when they first met.
 * The two women started the web series in part because they weren’t getting cast and in part to show their parents evidence of what they were pursuing.
 * When Abbi first set eyes on Ilana she thought Ilana was Alia Shawkat from Arrested Development.
 * Comedy Central renewed Broad City for a third season before the second even premiered.
 * The first script was originally sold to FX, but the network did not move ahead with it.
