The end is in sight for Survival of the Thickest. Netflix has announced that the series has been renewed for a third and final season. Inspired by Michelle Buteau’s book of essays, Survival of the Thickest stars Buteau as Mavis Beaumont. Black, plus-size, and newly single, Mavis is forced to unexpectedly rebuild her life after putting all her eggs in one man’s basket. But with the support of her chosen family, a positive attitude, and a cute V-neck and some lip gloss, she’s determined to not only survive, but thrive.
