Back in 2023, Survival of the Thickest was one of those shows we happily stumbled upon, and now we can't wait for Survival of the Thickest season 2.

The series stars funny woman Michelle Buteau and is inspired by her book of essays. Last season, Mavis Beaumont (Buteau) found out her now-ex was cheating on her, jumpstarted her new career, met a new love in Luca (Marouane Zotti), got engaged to her cheating ex only to dump him again and eventually flew to Italy to reunite with Luca. We can't wait to see what antics Mavis gets into next.

Here’s everything we know about Survival of the Thickest season 2.
