I Am Not Okay With This Season 2: Renewal
Despite its immense popularity and positive reviews, Netflix is yet to order another run for the show. However, chances suggest that the series may get the green flag anytime soon. The streamer has enough trust in the series’ performance due to the involvement of Entwistle and Levy.
