Created by Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger, this series sequel to the OG adopts the same format. This time it’s Sophie (whose future self is played by Kim Cattrall) who’s narrating the story of her long and convoluted romance with her son’s father.

Season one saw Sophie (Hilary Duff) experience something special with aspiring musician Jesse (Chris Lowell). Yet she was spooked by his somnambulistic declaration of love and drove him back into the arms of his ex-girlfriend, Meredith. And then her perfect Tinder date Ian (Daniel Augustin, Rap Sh!t) from the show’s pilot returned for the season finale – meaning her love life is about to get a whole lot more complicated.

At least she has supportive pals Valentina (Francia Raisa), Charlie (Tom Ainsley), Ellen (Tien Tran) and bar-owner Sid (Suraj Sharma) to raise her spirits during any heartache.
