Kenan Thompson, the most recognizable face on television, is back with another season of his sitcom Kenan. The first season was much appreciated because of its emotional comfort and timely laughs as the series premiered on NBC during the pandemic.
Kenan is the story of a father (played by Thompson) who hosts a morning TV show and has become a single parent to his two young daughters Aubrey and Birdie Williams (Dani Lane and Dannah Lane), in the wake of his wife's death.
As Kenan is renewed for season 2, we can expect more between the relationship Kenan's character has with Mika, played by Kimrie Lewis, his executive producer and secret crush.
