Dad Stop Embarrassing Me! features a huge star in Jamie Foxx, but will season 2 happen? The comedy show takes place in Atlanta, and follows a single father who welcomes his daughter from Chicago after her mother's death. Foxx reunites with his former In Living Color castmate David Alan Grier, and their comedic chemistry seems like a strong foundation for Dad Stop Embarrassing Me! season 2.
The eight episodes of Dad Stop Embarrassing Me! season 1 focus on Brian Dixon (Foxx), who inherits his late mother's business, BAY Cosmetics. He's romantically interested in his work colleague Stacey (Heather Hemmens), but primarily spends most of his personal time with father Pops (Grier), sister Chelsea (Porscha Coleman), and daughter Sasha (Kyla-Drew). Brian delivers celebrity impressions throughout the Netflix show, and ultimately must decide if he wants to sell his mother's company to Maybelline or keep it in the family.
Dad Stop Embarrassing Me! season 1 ends without a major cliffhanger, though it does tease what new episodes will most likely be about. However, the Netflix show loses some momentum in its final episode by playing it safe with police-themed drama and not offering a strong sociopolitical commentary like its '90s predecessor The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, which so famously balanced smart comedy with timely societal issues. Here's what to expect for Dad Stop Embarrassing Me! season 2.
Dad Stop Embarrassing Me! Season 2 Renewal Status
Netflix hasn't ordered Dad Stop Embarrassing Me! season 2. If the series becomes a trending hit after releasing in April 2021, then the streaming service will pay close attention to viewing numbers for several weeks and make a renewal/cancellation decision during the spring. Expect Netflix to greenlight Dad Stop Embarrassing Me! season 2 sometime this summer, if it happens.
Dad Stop Embarrassing Me! Season 2 Release Date
Dad Stop Embarrassing Me! season 1 consists of eight 25-minute episodes, so new productions won't take that long to make. Foxx has several projects in the works - including a Mike Tyson miniseries - but he'll presumably set aside the appropriate amount of time for his Netflix show since he produces it with his daughter, Corinne Fox. If Dad Stop Embarrassing Me! season 2 doesn't release during the first half of 2022, it should definitely premiere by the end of the year.
Dad Stop Embarrassing Me! Season 2 Cast
The main stars of Dad Stop Embarrassing Me! season 1 will likely return for new episodes. The storyline revolves around the Dixon family, so expect Foxx to reprise his role, along with the aforementioned Kyla-Drew, Grier and Coleman. Dad Stop Embarrassing Me! season 2 could potentially include Foxx's daughter Corinne, and it would be fun if another original cast member from In Living Color appears in a guest role, whether it's Jim Carrey, Tommy Davidson, or Keenen Ivory Wayans.
Dad Stop Embarrassing Me! Season 2 Story Details
The final episodes of Dad Stop Embarrassing Me! season 1 tease various subplots for a potential season 2. Brian shares a passionate kiss with his business colleague Stacey (Heather Hemmens), and then receives an offer to sell Bay Cosmetics to Maybelline. Meanwhile, Pops grows closer with Chelsea, who rejects numerous date offers to spend time with her father. The season ends with the Dixons' Airbnb neighbors calling the police about suspicious people in the neighborhood, which leads to some minor drama and quick resolution. In the final moments, Brian implies that he's willing to hand over the family business to Sasha, who expresses interest in becoming a civil rights attorney. Dad Stop Embarrassing Me! season 2 will likely focus on the Dixon family dynamics, but also try to address timely cultural issues.
