Angie, Tye and Quinn will continue to make their mark on Black mecca. “Harlem,” a comedy about four long-time friends pursuing their personal and professional dreams, has been renewed for a second season by Amazon Studios. The Hollywood Reporter confirmed the news.
From “Girls Trip” scribe Tracy Oliver, “Harlem” follows an anthropology professor (Meagan Good), queer dating app creator (Jerrie Johnson), fashion designer (Grace Byers), and aspiring singer (Shoniquia Shandai).
“When I walked into a bar in Harlem and overheard folks excitedly discussing the show, I knew we had a hit,” said Oliver. “’Harlem’ has resonated with so many people, and I’m beyond grateful to Amazon for giving it a second season. Most of all, I’m excited to reunite with the beautiful cast.”
Vernon Sanders, head of global television at Amazon Studios, added, “Culturally relevant, critically acclaimed, and hysterical, ‘Harlem’ and Tracy Oliver accomplished something very special with the first season of this show. The show tackles real-life problems with humor and laughter. It is an important part of our Prime Video global customers and perfectly fits into the stories we are trying to tell. We look forward to following the Season Two journey of Camille, Quinn, Angie, and Tye, and giving fans more reasons to laugh out loud as they cheer on these four dynamic Black women doing it their way.”
An NAACP Award winner and GLAAD Award nominee, “Harlem” launched in December.
Last year Oliver signed an eight-figure Apple overall deal. The “Sun Is Also a Star” screenwriter created “First Wives Club,” a comedy series based on the 1996 pic of the same name that’s been renewed for a third season by BET+.
