Can Netflix Make a Renewal for Act Your Age’s Second Season?
It is certain that if the American show attracts huge attention globally on the streaming giant, its producers will reconsider their decision and renew the series for a second season.
Star Yvette Nicole Brown also advocated to make the series popular and increase its viewership to gain a piece of positive news from the streaming giant. Her post on social media read, “Thank you so much for the support and we couldn’t agree more. Someone needs to give ‘Act Your Age’ a home. Until then, please enjoy all 16 episodes on Netflix. Please repost and share with your friends and please binge-watch for the next week. And if you don’t have time right now, just turn the show on and walk away from your TV.”
Netflix has a history of pulling out canceled shows; however, the list is not as long as it is believed to be. With a handful of shows, including Kiefer Sutherland-led Designated Survivor, the DC series Lucifer, the NBC drama Manifest, and a handful of others, if the American show succeeds in attracting an immense viewership, the streaming giant can reconsider its decision, further bringing a second season for the audiences.
Act Your Age Season 2 Cast
While the series stands canceled, a potential cast of the series includes,
- Kym Whitley (Outlaw Johnny Black) as Bernadette, aka Bernie, a real estate developer
- Tisha Campbell (Every Breath She Takes) as Keisha, Bernadette’s best friend
- Yvette Nicole Brown (Community) as Angela, Bernadette’s other best friend
- Nathan Anderson (All About the Washingtons) as Jacob, Bernadette’s son
- Mariah Robinson (The Wrong Valentine) as Olivia, Angela’s daughter
Trailer For Act Your Age Season 2
Since the series has been canceled, there are no trailers for a second season. Meanwhile, a synopsis for its debut season reads, “Keisha (Campbell), a divorcée from Miami, and Angela (Brown), a recent widower from Norfolk, Virginia, are visiting their best friend Bernadette (Whitley), who’s just been awarded the key to the city. To be clear: Keisha and Bernadette are besties, and so are Angela and Bernadette — but Keisha and Angela? They’re a little bit cool on each other. In the spirit of celebrating Bernadette, however, they put their differences aside and show up with bells on. Except Bernadette was lying to get them both in town. She’s actually eloping! To … a guy the other two have never met. Angela is desperate to tell Bernadette that it’s a bad idea — he’s not right for her.”
