The comedy series Survival of the Thickest, created by Michelle Buteau and Danielle Sanchez-Wittell (New Girl), hasn’t just survived, but thrived — and it’s headed for a second season.
Survival of the Thickest, the first season of which dropped July 2023, is a story only Buteau can tell. Inspired by her acclaimed book of essays of the same name, the first eight episodes followed Mavis Beaumont (played by Buteau), a stylist whose life is blown up after she catches her love and work partner in bed with another woman. We’re just along for the ride as Mavis, with the help of her besties, picks up the pieces (including plenty of pieces of big-budget designer swag) and hustles to rebuild her career on her own terms, while also creating opportunities for folks who’ve been overlooked by the fashion world for too long, and getting back out there in the terrifying dating scene.
