NEW YORK, NY – FEBRUARY 18, 2020 – Today, BET+ announced the second season pick-up of the Will Packer and Will Packer Media executive produced series, “Bigger.” Hailed by ESSENCE as “A love letter to the friendships Black women count on,” the provocative comedy created by Felischa Marye will continue to stream exclusively on BET+.  Returning series regulars include Tanisha Long (Layne Roberts), Angell Conwell (Veronica Yates), Rasheda Crockett (Tracey Davis), Chase Anthony (Deon Lewis), and Tristen Winger (Vince Carpenter). The full first season of “Bigger” is currently available to stream on BET+. Production specifics and the premiere date are forthcoming.

“I’m so proud of this show! And I can’t wait for new audiences to follow the shenanigans of this wild and crazy group of Black 30-somethings. Buckle up for Season 2,” said Packer.

“We are excited and proud to bring the Bigger squad back for another run.  Will and Felischa have been tremendous partners and we can’t wait to dive deeper into the hilarious and complicated lives of Layne and her group of friends” said Devin Griffin, General Manager, BET+.  “Our commitment to premium content continues with this series.  Fans embraced the show in a big way because it’s a real and fresh look at life as a 30-something, and it provides a new way for Black viewers to see themselves in original Black stories on screen.”

Season one of “Bigger” follows Layne, a single-black-woman and her close-knit group of 30-somethings as they navigate love, friendships, career ambitions, and the journey to getting BIGGER, together. When a college acquaintance suddenly dies, the group is forced to take a deeper look at their messy lives, while asking themselves— is this it or is there something bigger and better?
