Netflix has released the first official Survival of the Thickest trailer, previewing the upcoming comedy-drama about a woman attempting to rebuild her life after a breakup.

What is Survival of the Thickest about?
Survival of the Thickest was created by Michelle Buteau (who stars in the series) and Danielle Sanchez Witzel. It’s based on a memoir of the same name by Buteau. The series is produced by A24, and will premiere on Netflix on July 13, 2023.
Alongside Buteau, other cast members include Tone Bell, Tasha Smith, and Christine Horn. Recurring cast members include Garcelle Beauvais, Anissa Felix, Peppermint, Taylor Selé, Marouane Zotti, and more.

“Survival of the Thickest centers on Mavis Beaumont (Michelle Buteau). Black, plus-size and newly single (not by her choice!), Mavis unexpectedly finds herself having to rebuild her life as a struggling stylist,” reads the official synopsis. “She’s determined to not only survive but thrive with the support of her chosen family, a body positive attitude, and a cute v-neck with some lip gloss. The scripted comedy is based on Buteau’s acclaimed book of essays.”
