The second season of the trailblazing series “Vida” is set to premiere this Thursday, May 23, 2019. All 10 half-hour episodes will be made available on the STARZ app and STARZ On-Demand in the U.S. and Canada and on STARZPLAY in the U.K. and Germany. In addition to the full season release on these platforms, “Vida” will air its linear premiere on the STARZ Network on Sunday, May 26 at 8 p.m. ET/PT, airing each episode week-to-week.

“Vida” stars Melissa Barrera as Lyn, Mishel Prada as Emma, Ser Anzoategui as Eddy, Chelsea Rendon as Marisol, Carlos Miranda as Johnny – and recently announced – Roberta Colindrez  as Nico. Raúl Castillo and Adrian Gonzalez join as guest stars this season.

“Certified Fresh” on Rotten Tomatoes with a perfect score of 100% and Audience Award-winner at the 2018 SXSW Film Festival, “Vida” is created and executive produced by Tanya Saracho; Big Beach TV’s Robin Schwartz, Peter Saraf and Marc Turtletaub; and Stephanie Langhoff. In addition, “Vida” Season Two made its world premiere as an Official Selection of the 2019 Tribeca Film Festival.

The series follows estranged sisters Emma (Mishel Prada), a successful lawyer in Chicago, always pragmatic and career focused, and Lyn (Melissa Barrera), a flaky Yoga loving Vegan relying on her looks and other people’s money to get by, as they return home to their historically Mexican neighborhood in the Eastside of Los Angeles when their mother suddenly dies.

Discovering a surprising truth about their mother’s identity, Lyn and Emma, who have clashing coping skills, confront their loss, relationship, old neighborhood friends and the mismanagement of the family business, unspooling old childhood traumas and hard truths.

“Vida” is a never-before-seen contemporary portal into a multi-generational Latinx neighborhood exploring complex narratives and an intersecting range of issues including sexual, cultural and spiritual identity, class and race, all under the gaze of fast changes and growing conflicts with gentrification.

Hispanic-household viewing of “Vida” has nearly tripled since its premiere on Sunday, May 6, 2018, growing by 171% to earn the series the largest Hispanic audience composition for premium series in 2018. Additionally, on the STARZ app, the series audience grew by more than 60% from the season premiere to the finale.**

Executive Vice President of Original Programming Marta Fernandez and Senior Vice President of Original Programming Kathryn Tyus-Adair are the Starz executives in charge of “Vida.”
