This season, the series returns to its sketch-driven roots as characters find themselves in all-too-relatable situations: Fred and Carrie attempt to become storytelling experts to impress friends at a dinner party; the Goth couple discover the wonders of Bed Bath and Beyond; Toni and Candace retire from the feminist bookstore and contemplate what's next for their lives; Carrie dates a hunk; Fred tries to start his own Portland-based cell phone company; and much more.

New guest stars coming to Portlandia in Season 7 include (in alphabetical order) Maria Bamford (Lady Dynamite, Adventure Time), Rachel Dratch (Saturday Night Live, Inside Amy Schumer), Ana Fabrega (Boy Band, The Special Without Brett Davis), John Early (Search Party, Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising), Judy Greer (Archer, Married), Portland's Mayor Charlie Hales, Ryan Hansen (2 Broke Girls, Central Intelligence), Tim Heidecker (Tim and Eric's Bedtime Stories, Decker) Abbi Jacobson (Broad City, Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising), pro-basketball player Damian Lillard, Laurie Metcalf (Getting On, The McCarthys), Megan Neuringer (Kroll Show, Comedy Bang! Bang!), musicians El-P and Killer Mike of Run the Jewels, musicians Kate Pierson, Fred Schneider, and Cindy Wilson of The B-52's, Linda Ramone, Sam Richardson (Veep, The Office), Andy Richter (Conan), model Cameron Russell, and Jessica St. Clair (Review, Enough Said).

Returning guest stars include Vanessa Bayer (Saturday Night Live, Trainwreck), Steve Buscemi (Boardwalk Empire, Horace and Pete), Mitchell Hurwitz (Arrested Development, Lady Dynamite), John Levenstein (Kroll Show, Silicon Valley), Natasha Lyonne (Orange Is the New Black, Hello, My Name is Doris), Portlandia's Mayor Kyle MacLachlan (Twin Peaks, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D), and Kumail Nanjiani (Silicon Valley, Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates).

In addition to their role as creators, Armisen, Brownstein and Krisel serve as writers and executive producers of Portlandia, along with co-executive producer Graham Wagner. Broadway Video's Andrew Singer is also an executive producer. Veteran director Jonathan Krisel is joined this season by guest directors Fred Armisen, Carrie Brownstein, Alice Mathias, Steve Buscemi, and Bill Benz. Portlandia is shot entirely on location in Portland, Oregon.
