Staples immediately replied to the post with an answer, and urged fans to give the series a great review on the streaming platform — in hopes of getting a renewal.

“Y’all need another 20 Episodes green lit,” one person replied.

“Ur top 3 on trending. Netflix knows the show is a hit,” someone else wrote.

Additional cast members include Vanessa Bell Calloway and Andrea Ellsworth, along with guest stars Naté Jones, Arturo Castro, Scott MacArthur, Bryan Greenberg, and Myles Bullock.

The series comes from Kenya Barris and his Khalabo Ink Society production company. Staples and Barris serve as executive producers alongside Ian Edelman, Maurice Williams, Corey Smyth, and William Stefan Smith.

Staples co-created the show with Ian Edelman and Maurice Williams.
