Issa Rae's Sweet Life Los Angeles season 2 follows a close-knitted group of African-American friends in their 20s as they work towards achieving their shared and individual goals.
The show will explore themes of loyalty, legacy, and love. It will showcase what life for a young, ambitious African-American individual is like.
This unscripted coming-of-age show was inspired by Frank Ocean's song Sweet Life and also draws inspiration from the BET reality show, Baldwin.
But like any other clique, the cast of Sweet Life Los Angeles is not free of drama, and by watching the trailer itself, viewers can sense that this season’s air feels tense. Will the drama be the reason this group falls apart or will they collectively get what they set out to achieve?
Returning to the show this season are Tylynn Burns, Briana Jones, P'Jae Compton, Amanda Scott, Jerrold Smith II, and Cheryl Des Vignes. Joining their aspirational and tight clique are Rebecca Magett, Rob Lee, and Jaylenn Hart.
Jaylenn Hart was also a part of season 1 as a supporting member.
