The Much Awaited “VIDA” 2nd Season Premieres May 26th On STARZ

The 2nd season of STARZ’s hit drama VIDA premieres on the STAR’s app on May 23 on the app and n May 26 on the channel.

The 2nd season of the STARZ series, Vida which rocked the TV world for presenting an never before look at life in East L.A., premieres on May 26th. And if you really can’t wait you can watch it on May 23rd on the STARZ app.

When last we saw the estranged sisters Emma (Mishel Prada), the career-focused and successful lawyer from Chicago, and Lyn (Melissa Barrera), a flaky y loving vegan relying on her looks and other people’s money to get by, they had returned to their childhood neighborhood of East Los Angeles, only to see their lives turn topsy turvy.

It was a lot to take in. Upon their return to bury their mom, they find out she had a wife who they are now tied to as all three own the family bar. Both daughters planned to leave and get back to their “normal” lives. But “el ” had other plans.

The first season of Vida put a whole new hue on the “old neighborhood”, and to say that this is not your grandmother’s neighborhood anymore, would be an understatement. On the surface, it may look the same, but as the “” spread throughout season two, what we got was a stark new look at the old neighborhood.

Vida is a never-before-seen contemporary portal into a multi-generational Latinx neighborhood exploring complex narratives and an intersecting range of issues including sexual, cultural and spiritual identity, class and race, all under the gaze of fast changes and growing conflicts with gentrification.

In season 1, the girls learned the truth. In the second season, they face reality as Lyn and Emma begin the monumental task of rebuilding their mother’s business while navigating financial constraints, competing developers, and the growing anti-gentrification movement.

What do we have to look forward in season two, which has expanded to 10 episodes, up from the 6 they shot last season?

And what would Vida’s East L.A. be without the tagger played by Chelsea and Carlos Miranda whose character Johnny can’t decide what women he needs to be loyal to? We also look forward to seeing the neighborhood’s colorful residents who always add a lot more flavor to the season.

Watch on STARZ May 26. The series is produced by Big Beach TV with Robin Schwartz, Peter Saraf and Marc Turtletaub serving as executive producers. Stephanie Langhoff is also executive producing with Chrisann Verges producing.
