The official description for Season 2 gives viewers a glimpse into the drama and comedy that’s about to unfold:
A La Carte season 2 delves into the dynamics of Misha (Shani Marq), Reign (Kendall Kyndall), and Shyra (Jenna Nolen) as friends, now without their mutual friend Mahogany. Her absence sparks both comedic and dramatic shifts in this new friendship dynamic. Navigating relationships in your mid-20s can be tricky, especially in the vibrant city of Los Angeles. The mistakes they make will either bring them closer together or drive them further apart. With comedy, love, sex, fire, and the inevitable trial and error, these three friends continue their journey of self-discovery and growth.
The series is directed and executive produced by Dijon Talton and The Talton Company, with additional executive producers Meagan Good, Christopher O’Conner for Prodigi Arts Entertainment, and Deonte Staats. The production team also includes producers Melissa A. Young, Brett Dismuke, Nikki Love, and Ashley McFarlin, VP of Development & Original Production. Breanna Hogan is the mastermind behind creating the series.
“This season we get to explore, elevate and dive deeper into the characters we’ve grown to love, and introduce some really dynamic and fun new cast,” executive producer Dijon Talton said, per Deadline. “We’re excited to continue exploring the nuanced human experience of Black individuals in their mid-20s, giving them the permission to be flawed and yet still redeemable. AllBlk has been an incredible partner and we are grateful to continue this journey with them. We couldn’t be more excited to start production on season 2!”
“I am so excited about season two! AllBlk has provided us with an incredible, free-spirited and supportive platform to share and explore stories that are authentic and relatable,” added executive producer Meagan Good. “I’m so grateful to be working with my cousin, Dijon Talton, who’s vision for À La Carte has enabled generation Z to feel seen, heard and understood all the while being allowed to be imperfect as they navigate their life experiences and grow through them.”

New characters & descriptions per AllBlk:
Love will play Evette, Shyra’s sexy savant. She’s able to help Shyra with many problems this season, starting with providing a roof over her head. Evette opens her home to the friend group and is slowly reminded why you need a tribe of people you can trust in L.A.
Jacke will play Brandon. Brandon is the new bar owner of Dahlia’s and is having trouble running it when the crew pops up to drink their sorrows away. He’s harboring a secret that may jeopardize the future of the bar.
Miller will portray Jamal, a three-time Major League Baseball All-Star that has recently been traded to play in L.A. He keeps his girlfriend, Evette, well kept.
Roman is Maureen DeVoe, a sexy pop star whisperer who reaches out to Misha in hopes of reigniting her love for music. She sees dollar signs when it comes to her artists and if it doesn’t make sense/cents, she’s not investing her time into it. When Misha waffles between school and songwriting, Maureen DeVoe must decide about their future together.
Kennedy will play Frank Watson, a bartender at Dahlia’s, hired mostly for his body. His friendship with Shyra, Derek and Brandon lands him in the thick of their drama as he tries to conceal a huge secret.
Fisher portrays Mecca, a gay, B-list actor on the DL. Mecca is a moth attracted to the lights that focuses on Reign this season but doesn’t want the spotlight that dating an out and proud man brings.
Hill is Korey, a comedian who finds Misha on a new musical journey. He’s not usually the type of guy that Misha would be attracted to, but when he makes her laugh, she can’t help but give him a chance.
Fleisher portrays Mecca, a gay, B-list actor on the DL. Mecca is a moth attracted to the lights that focuses on Reign this season but doesn’t want the spotlight that dating an out and proud man brings.
