Survival of the Thickest season 3 features a smaller main cast this time around with Michelle Buteau as Mavis, Tone Bell as Khalil, and Marouane Zotti as Luca. The returning series regulars will be joined by an exciting line up of guest stars, some of which have appeared in the series before and some who are dropping by for the first time in the final season.
Netflix announced the guest star lineup as follows: Peppermint, Liza Treyger, Garcelle Beauvais, Wanda Sykes, D.L. Hughley, Ilana Glazer, Ashley Graham, Ronny Chieng, Ice-T, Wyatt Cenac, Jenna Lyons, LaQuan Smith, Charles Harbison, Ashley Romans, Anthony Michael Lopez, Alecsys Proctor-Turner, Jonathan Higginbotham, Dan Amboyer, and RonReaco Lee
Since the creative team knew going into production on season 3 that this would be the final season, Survival of the Thickest will be able to conclude on its own terms. We should expect a satisfying ending for the series that leaves Mavis in a glamorous and happy place that befits her career goals and romantic dreams. But it’s still a shame the series is ending after only three seasons.
As much as fans have been dreading the release date news because that means the end is near, the prospect of more laughs care of Michelle Buteau coming to our watch lists this summer is exciting. Now’s the time to catch up with seasons 1 and 2 on Netflix before the final episodes arrive!
