Last year, the Vida TV show was one of two half-hour dramas to premiere on Starz. Despite being the second lowest-rated TV series on the premium cable network, it wasn’t cancelled and is now back for a second season, which was released in full on the Starz app, three days prior to the season two debut.

From creator Tanya Saracho, Vida stars Mishel Prada, Melissa Barrera, Ser Anzoategui, Carlos Miranda, Chelsea Rendon, Maria-Elena Laas, and Roberta Colindrez.

I love this show and hope for many more, and longer seasons
