“Alice and Steve” has been picked up for a second season at Disney+ and Hulu.
The comedy — which airs on Disney+ in the U.K. and Ireland and on Disney+ and Hulu in the U.S. — follows Alice (Nicola Walker), who is devastated when her best friend Steve (Jemaine Clement) starts dating her 26-year-old daughter Izzy (Yali Topol Margalith).
“She’s going to lose her best friend and her daughter in one fell swoop,” the synopsis reads. “Alice tries everything she can to end the relationship. Unfortunately for her, Steve’s more than ready for the attack, and what begins as a perfect friendship, devolves into an all-out feud.”
Variety praised the first season, with critic Alison Herman calling Walker and Clement a “hilarious” duo. “The lived-in platonic chemistry between Walker and Clement is the show’s highlight and its foundation, keeping the action anchored in something wholesome amid some abominable behavior on both sides of the friends’ growing rift,” Herman wrote.
“I am so thrilled that ‘Alice and Steve’ has been given a second season,” creator and writer Sophie Goodhart said in a statement. “No one will be prepared for what happens next, especially not Alice and Steve.”
