The Netflix miniseries was one of the most unexpected hits from the streaming giants when it premiered on October 1, 2021. The story revolves around a single mother, Alex, who had to take up the job of a houseworker after escaping an abusive marriage.
Season 2 of the series will follow up on the story of Alexandra 'Alex' Russell (played by Margaret Qualley) and how she deals with the custody of her baby daughter Maddy (played by Rylea Nevaeh Whittet). The expected release date of the second season of the series is expected to arrive around September 2024.

The plot of Netflix's Maid
The series centers around Alex, a maid striving toward her dream of becoming a writer while also trying to raise a young child, deal with her broken family, an abusive ex-boyfriend, and other issues. The action of the story occurs close to Seattle, and Alex frequently travels by ferry to the made-up Fisher Island.
The official synopsis of the series from Netflix reads:
"Inspired by the New York Times best-selling memoir, Maid: Hard Work, Low Pay, and a Mother’s Will to Survive by Stephanie Land, MAID follows the story of Alex, a single mother who turns to housecleaning after escaping an abusive relationship to create a better life for her daughter, Maddy. A story of a desperate but determined woman, this series is a raw and inspiring exploration of a mother’s resilience."
The Netflix series takes viewers through a rollercoaster of emotions as it showcases the struggles of poverty and child custody battle amidst themes of emotional abuse. As such, this is definitely one of the best series which takes a nuanced look at motherhood and its struggles.

Melissa & Joey star Nick Robinson will reprise his role as Sean Boyd, Alex's abusive ex-husband.
