‘Life & Beth’ Season 2
Amy Schumer’s hit comedy-drama Life & Beth returned to Hulu on Feb. 16, 2024 with 10 new episodes. The first season follows Beth (Schumer) as she comes to terms with the sudden death of her mother and a break-up. The Manhattanite returns to her hometown in Long Island where she meets a quiet farmer named John, played by Michael Cera. The two flirt through the entire season before finally getting together in the finale. Season 2 opens right where Season 1 leaves off, but sees Beth and John’s relationship moving at an epic speed. They quickly decide to get married and build a life together, though moments from their past continue to haunt them. The series offers a few thoughtful meditations on the way childhood trauma carries through adulthood and toxic masculinity. Brilliantly toeing the line between comedy and drama, Life & Beth is an addictive watch that takes Schumer and Cera’s talents to the next level.
