BIG surprises are in store for audiences in season 2 of “Survival Of The Thickest”.
Dramedy Survival of the Thickest centers on Mavis Beaumont (Michelle Buteau). Black, plus-size, and looking for love, while loving herself, Mavis works hard to grow her brand and establish herself as a stylist of note. She’s determined to not only survive but thrive with the support of her chosen family, a body-positive attitude, and a cute v-neck with some lip gloss. The scripted comedy is inspired by Buteau’s acclaimed book of essays.
Season 2 premiered today March 27, 2025 on Netflix.
This romcom is modern, cultured, progressive, dramatic, black, romantic, and funny as hell!
The season is filled with surprises, emotionally raw and painful moments, loses, sexy times, and triumphs…not only for Mavis, but also for her gang of pals like her long time best friend Khalil, an artist by trade and Mavis’ central source of support and honesty both day and night.
The ensemble cast of Buteau, Tone Bell, Tasha Smith, Marouane Zotti, Peppermint, Garcelle Beauvais, Anthony Michael Lopez, and Liza Treyger return, along with new guest stars Anderson Paak, Deon Cole, Tika Sumpter, Monét X Change, Honey Balenciaga, Sandra Bernhard, and Bevy Smith.
Brilliant set design places viewers in the Roman market, in urban NY apartments, or right in the room with any fashion or design project Mavis takes on!
Season 2 will thoroughly entertain audiences as each episode has a special plot that delivers a funny, relatable, and interesting story about a day in the life of Mavis while she’s just trying to happily and wholly survive while being thick.
Season 1 and all episodes of season 2 are streaming now on Netflix!
