Tracy Oliver, a writer who also serves as the show’s creator and executive producer, is the show’s creator. In Harlem season 2, the wonderful four from Prime Video are back with plenty of unfinished business from season 1. The uptown foursome is back and in style. That’s right, folks—Tracy Oliver’s Harlem is back, and the ladies are ready to party. As per early trends, Season 2 is reportedly superior to season 1 given that everything has been established.
Plot
After ruining her job and her ex Ian’s wedding, Camille (Meagan Good) is regaining her feet. Can these two ex-lovers make things work? Quinn (Grace Byers) is experimenting with her sexuality, Tye (Jerrie Johnson) is attempting to move on with her life despite obstacles posed by her estranged husband, and Angie (Shoniqua Shandai), whose hopes of appearing in Get Out: The Musical were dashed by a cease-and-desist letter, is trying to break free from a string of bad luck while dating some attractive men. The Sex and the City-like Harlem gets serious about love and sex in your 30s and also addresses societal themes like gentrification, prejudice in the workplace, and dating as a gay woman. It also has a dynamic cast, amusing one-liners, and great outfits.
