Created by Jordon Nardino, Glamorous is a comedy-drama series streaming on Netflix. The plot revolves around Marco, a makeup enthusiast, who joins the company Glamorous by Madolyn and begins working directly under its founder, former supermodel Madolyn Addison, as second assistant. As the series progresses, Marco and Madolyn teach each other valuable lessons on love, life, and identity. Season one, comprising ten episodes, premiered on June 22, 2023. Want to know if there will be a season two? You have come to the perfect place.
Here’s all we know about Glamorous Season 2 and whether or not it’s coming out.
Is there a Glamorous Season 2 release date?
There is no Glamorous Season 2 release date, as Netflix canceled the series after season one.
In November 2023, Glamorous became one of the shows that Netflix decided not to renew for another season. High-profile action fantasy series Shadow and Bone and adult animated comedies Agent Elvis, Farzar, and Captain Fall also suffered the same fate. The decision about this was reportedly made a week after the end of the SAG-AFTRA strike and seven weeks after the conclusion of the WGA of the strike. The impact of the said strikes is presumed to be one of the main reasons for the cancellation.
In Glamorous’ case, other reasons likely include the show’s lukewarm performance, both in terms of critics’ reviews and viewership numbers. Series creator Jordon Nardino took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to confirm the news for the fans. “It’s been officially for a few weeks, but the writing has been on the wall since our release when viewers showed up but not Netflix level,” he wrote in a series of posts. “Perfectly fine numbers elsewhere — even good! But not a mass hit. And Netflix is in the mass hit business.”
Nardino continued, “And if you want to build a mass audience for queer content, you’re in a tough box. Netflix was INCREDIBLY supportive and let me do some VERY gay nonsense, but they’re not gonna keep a show going that doesn’t meet their bottom line.”
The cast includes Kim Cattrall as Madolyn Addison, Miss Benny as Marco Mejia, Jade Payton as Venetia Kelaher, Zane Phillips as Chad Addison, Michael Hsu Rosen as Ben, Ayesha Harris as Britt, Graham Parkhurst as Parker, and more.
Why Glamorous Season 2 isn’t happening
Glamorous Season 2 isn’t coming out because, as mentioned above, the series was canceled after the first season. ComingSoon will provide an update if the circumstances change.
The official synopsis for Glamorous reads:
“Aspiring influencer Marco lands a dream job with a makeup mogul and begins a dazzling journey of self-discovery amid work chaos and romantic challenges.”
