Season two of Marlon will be landing on British screens on Netflix on Wednesday, August 22.

There are a total of 10 episodes in season two which will be dropping all in one go.

British fans can watch the show from 8am in the UK on the day of release.

Marlon’s second outing has already finished airing on NBC in America.

Season one of Marlon proved to be a big hit for NBC and became the second most-watched summer comedy premiere in four years for the network, according to TVLine.

The first run aired back in 2016 with Netflix acquiring the international right to the show outside of North America.

The show is loosely based on Wayans’ own personal life - the Scary Movie star has two children from a long-term relationship.

Season two will see the title character (played by Marlon Wayans) again trying to navigate the pitfalls of divorce and maintain a relationship with his ex-wife and children.

Fans can expect more of the same from the second outing as Marlon helps his wife Ashley Wayne (Essense Atkins) start dating after their divorce.

However, there will more antics as Marlon gets himself into some hilarious and bizarre situations.

Speaking about the new season, actor Wayans teased: “As fun as season one was, season two, it’s a step up.”

Wayans went on to say: “We have a family show that’s dealing with divorce, but it’s not about breaking up.

Marlon Wayans again takes the lead as his alter-ego Marlon Wayne, a divorced father-of-two trying to keeping his family together despite his immaturity.

The star, who also serves as an executive producer on the series, is best known for his roles in the Scary Movie franchise, White Chicks and Haunted House.

Joining him will be Essence Atkins as Marlon’s fictional ex-wife Ashley Wayne. Atkins is best known for her roles in Mr. Box office and Are We There Yet?

Playing the dysfunctional couple’s children are Notlim Taylor as daughter Marley Wayne and Amir O’Neill as Zack Wayne.

Other cast members include Diallo Riddle as the couple’s friend Stevie and Bresha Webb as Yvette.

There’s been no official word yet on a renewal from NBC.

However, the show has a strong following which could put it in good stead and as always, it will be down to the ratings.
