Netflix's comedy series Survival of the Thickest is back for another fabulous season of one of the best Black TV shows on the streaming giant. Based on Michelle Buteau's book of essays of the same name, the vibrant show stars Buteau as Mavis Beaumont, a talented N.Y.C. stylist who has to pick her life back up after she breaks up with her long-time boyfriend. Survival of the Thickest takes the classic story of a single girl chasing love and career goals in the big city and makes it Blacker, queerer, and more body-positive.
To build the show's world, Netflix recruited a hilarious cast of both up-and-comers you'll need to watch and familiar faces from the world of Broadway and reality TV. With season 2 out on March 27, 2025, read on to learn more about the stunning cast of Survival of the Thickest.
