The Face of Furry Creek debuted to critical acclaim with Homorazzi.com calling the show "very clever and entertaining" with "fresh ideas"[2] while Blouin ArtInfo called the series "gutsy satire that deserves more attention" and praised Woods' performance in particular saying "Woods deserves a bigger stage".[3]

On November 6, 2013, it was confirmed that the TV series would return for a second season in the summer of 2014 and include an additional digital companion project.[4] Season 2 debuted on September 8, 2014.[5]
