Netflix’s Survival of the Thickest, co-created by Michelle Buteau and Danielle Sanchez-Witzel, follows Mavis Beaumont, a plus-size stylist dealing with a bad breakup in her 40s while surviving in New York. The show is based on Buteau’s book of essays of the same name which is thematically about self-love.
The first season was a big hit, and in February 2024, Buteau excitedly announced the next season with a post on Instagram, saying in a video, “We did it bitches!”
