The third and final season of Michelle Buteau’s Survival of the Thickest will arrive on Netflix July 2.
Buteau revealed the teaser and debut date at her Netflix is a Joke stand-up show with a surprise appearance from Wanda Sykes, who guest stars this season, last night
“Get my good side,” Beaumont says early on in the teaser clip. “It’s all my sides.”
The glimpse of the series finale installment teases “the Oscars of fashion, the Emmys of Art” and “the Olympics of wedgies.”
Inspired by Buteau’s acclaimed book of essays, the scripted comedy centers on Buteau’s main character Mavis Beaumont, who is “Black, plus-size, and falling in love while loving herself.”
“Mavis works hard to grow her brand as a stylist and designer. 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 Season 3 logline continues.
