Netflix Picks Up 'She's Gotta Have It' for Sophomore Run
Netflix is having more of "She's Gotta Have It."
Just over a month since season 1 dropped in November, the streaming giant has picked up Spike Lee's "She's gotta Have It" for season 2. The series, which stars DeWanda Wise, offers a fresh take on Lee's classic 1986 film of the same name that launched his career. It also has an updated storyline to make it more appealing for modern viewers.
The announcement was made by Lee, alongside his wife Tonya Lewis, on Jan. 1 via Instagram. Their video was captioned:

The pair did not reveal any detail about the new season though, which means fans have yet to know what lies ahead for lead character Nola Darling (Wise). If one thing is for sure, the second season will have eight episodes, which is similar to the first installment.
Wise also posted about the renewal through her own Instagram account. The actress shared a video from the filming of the first season, along with the caption:
Back ta werq! Season is OFFICIAL!!! Can't wait to return to BK. Congrats to aaallll us. #HappyNewYear#ShesGottaHaveIt @delivrusfromtia
There is no word yet from Netflix regarding the specific date as to when the show will premiere, but AV Club speculates that given how things go with seasons at the network, "She's Gotta Have It" season 2 will likely be released in a year's time. Season 1, which had 10 episodes, arrived in Nov. 23 last year, so fans can assume that the second season — which Engadget notes will have eight episodes — will arrive at about the same time this year.
Meantime, fans can enjoy watching season 1 of the comedy-drama, which currently streams on Netflix. It tells the story of a woman (Wise) and how she juggles open relationships with three lovers, played by Anthony Ramos, Lyriq Bent and Cleo Anthony.
