Survival of the Thickest Final Season Guest Stars; Ted Season 2 Returns in March
Netflix confirmed that the final season of Survival of the Thickest, Season 3, will include guest stars Wanda Sykes (The Upshaws, Please and Thank You Tour), D.L.

The series is now in production in New York. Survival of the Thickest centers on Mavis Beaumont (Michelle Buteau). Black, plus-size, and looking for love, while loving herself, Mavis works hard to grow her brand and establish herself as a stylist of note. She's determined to not only survive but thrive with the support of her chosen family, a body-positive attitude, and a cute v-neck with some lip gloss. The scripted comedy is inspired by Buteau's acclaimed book of essays.
Co-Creator, EP, and Star, Michelle Buteau, and Co-Creator and EP Danielle Sanchez-Witzel will make their directorial debuts. Buteau will direct episode 5, and Sanchez-Witzel will direct episode 3. Returning Series Regulars and Guest Stars include Michelle Buteau (Babes, Survival of the Thickest, The Circle), Tone Bell (Trigger Warning, Coyote vs. Acme), Marouane Zotti (I May Destroy You, Bodkin), Liza Treyger (Liza Treyger: Night Owl), Peppermint (Harlem), Alecsys Proctor-Turner, Anthony Michael Lopez (Broad City, Mapplethorpe), Garcelle Beauvais (Black Girl Missing, Spider-Man: Homecoming), and RonReaco Lee (Fight Night, Friends and Lovers). Marouane Zotti shifts from guest star to series regular. Additional directors for the season include Kim Nguyen & Amy Aniobi.
Ted is back! All episodes of Ted Season 2 premiere Thursday, March 5 only on Peacock.
It's 1994, and senior year of high school is underway for Ted the foul-mouthed teddy bear and his best friend, likable but awkward John Bennett. Together they live in a working-class Boston home with John's parents (Matty and Susan) and cousin (Blaire). Matty is a blustering, blue-collar Bostonian who sees himself as the unequivocal boss of the house and doesn't like anyone challenging him, particularly his liberal-minded niece. Susan is kind, selfless, and almost pathologically sweet when it comes to caring for her family. Blaire is an outspoken college student who often finds herself at odds with her more traditional-minded relatives.
Starring Seth MacFarlane, Max Burkholder, Alanna Ubach, Scott Grimes, and Giorgia Whigham. 8 episodes will drop.
