Netflix + Survival of the Thickest

We partnered with Netflix to take fans behind the scenes of all three seasons of Survival of the Thickest. Michelle Buteau, Danielle Sanchez-Witzel, Amy Aniobi, and the rest of the cast and crew reflect on Michelle’s leap from star to first-time director, the tight-knit crew that became a real-life found family, and the show’s unwavering commitment to authentic inclusivity both in front of and behind the camera. The inside look reveals how a series built on Black joy, self-love, and embracing every curve became a one-of-a-kind moment for fans and cast.
