Survival of the Thickest
Watch if you need a comedy about adult life without filters, where the main character is not a typical Hollywood beauty, but a real woman with real problems and a real sense of humor. Perfect for fans of "Broad City" and "Girls."
Netflix, July 13, 2023 — a comedy-drama series based on the memoirs of Michelle Buteau. Passionate plus-size stylist Mavis Beaumont decides to start fresh after a tough breakup: building a career, seeking love, and most importantly, learning to love herself on her own terms. The tone is witty, body-positive, and uncompromisingly honest. The humor here is not about fat jokes, but about surviving in an industry that constantly wants to "fix" you. Format: 8 episodes of ~25 minutes in the first season, season 2 released in March 2025, and the 3rd and final season on July 2, 2026. Comparison: "Girls" meets "Fame" in the fashion world, but with a lot more body positivity and less narcissism.
the first premiered on July 13, 2023, the second on March 27, 2025, and the third and final on July 2, 2026.
