HOLLYWOOD, Calif.--Jan. 28, 2022--Nickelodeon announced today that it has greenlit a 13-episode second season of its hit live-action buddy comedy That Girl Lay Lay. The series follows Lay Lay (Alaya "That Girl Lay Lay" High), an avatar from a personal affirmation app that magically comes to life, and her best friend Sadie (Gabrielle Nevaeh Green) as they navigate life as teenagers and discover who they truly are. Season one of That Girl Lay Lay shattered records this Fall with premieres delivering double digit gains on Thursday nights and consistent #1 rankings in the time slot across all TV among K6-11.

"I'm so excited to continue this journey with Lay Lay, Nickelodeon and all the talented actors, writers and crew that make this show the hit that it is," said creator and showrunner David A. Arnold. "Stay tuned because we have so much more fun coming!"

"I couldn't be more proud of the show that we were able to create with David A. Arnold and Nickelodeon," said executive producer Will Packer. "That Girl Lay Lay is the series that so many kids need in their lives today for so many reasons, and I can't wait for everyone to see all the adventures coming in season two."

Season two of That Girl Lay Lay will begin production early this year in Los Angeles with a premiere slated for this summer on Nickelodeon.

Season two of the series will bring more music and magical powers as the two best friends continue to go on even more exciting adventures, working to fulfill Lay Lay's desire to experience everything that comes with being a real teenager. That Girl Lay Lay also stars Peyton Perrine III as Sadie's brother, Marky; Tiffany Daniels as Sadie's mom, Trish; and Thomas Hobson as Sadie's dad, Bryce.
