Survivor’s Remorse is that rare 30 minute that is actually really good. But how can it not be when it has both Tichina Arnold and Mike Epps. It gives us a refreshing take on life after a “come up,” one that doesn’t rely on stereotypes. Season Two is due to air this month with ten episodes, up from the six episode first season. You can catch the first episode here, and check out the trailer for Season Two below.

Synopsis:

Through a combination of God-given talent and north Philly grit, Cam Calloway and Reggie Vaughn have achieved fame and fortune that neither could have imagined growing up in one of the toughest neighborhoods in Boston. But success comes with its own challenges, and the cousins and confidantes wrestle with the rewards of money, stardom, love, and occasionally, the guilt of having “made it.”

Cast:

• Jessie T. Usher – Cam Calloway
• RonReaco Lee – Reggie Vaughn
• Erica Ash – Mary Charles Calloway
• Teyonah Parris – Missy Vaughn
• Tichina Arnold – Cassie Calloway
• Mike Epps – Uncle Julius

Season Two of Survivor’s Remorse premieres August 22, 2015 at 9:30/8:30c on Starz. The first season is available on DVD and Instant Video.
