Will Starz cancel or renew Sweetbitter for season two? This series debuted with very low ratings but they have improved as the season’s progressed. Though the ratings are still very low, I suspect it will be renewed. For now, I’ll keep an eye on the Nielsens and update this page with breaking developments.

Really adored SweetBitter. It was so real and relatable. Being almost 22 myself it reflected lives of so many people I know, wanting so much and really getting a whole lot more than we expected from a job we just thought would just pay the bills.
Family, enemies, lovers, friends, mentors but not in a shallow way. In a real way.
We love Sweet Bittet and hope it is renewed.
Ella Purnell was great, but did not like Sweetbitter at all.
I just don’t understand why the episodes are a half hour. It’s not a sit com. Plus in this day and age of streaming one episode a week is crazy. Also calling six episodes a season is just insulting.
I enjoyed the show and hope it continues.
I love sweet bitter. I wish each episode was 55 minutes. I just get involved and it’s over! I need to see this series continued. These characters are so complicated in themselves, and their relationships with one another. They are aging nicely, complex of bitter and sweet. When they have fully aged, they will each be remarkable!
I love this series. Tess/Ella Purnell is deliciously naive, innocent and sexy. All the characters are superb in their roles and the NY scene is an eyeopener.
I enjoy the show immensely and hope it continues for a longtime and like April I’d like to see how Tess will age and come into full bloom
I love sweet bitter it grabbed me at season one and instantly I wanted more of this show! I definitely hope to get a season 2. I also as April said would love a longer episode. I also love each character and would love to explore more of each of them next season.
