The synopsis for the first season is as follows:

The series takes place six months after the events of the [2018] film, focusing on Ashley, the partner of Miles, who’s trying to establish a quality middle-class life in Oakland, California. But when Miles is arrested and sent to prison, Ashley and her young son are forced to move in with Mile’s mother, Rainey, and his half sister, Trish. With her world turned upside down while the neighbourhood goes inside out, Ashley must renegotiate her relationship with a town that is caught between two conflicting identities.

Jeffrey Hirsch, President and CEO at Starz, released a statement saying:

The award-worthy artistry and creativity that Rafael, Daveed and the entire Blindspotting team poured into the series took the comedy genre to a new level and I can’t wait to see what they have in store for season two. The series deservedly garnered critical acclaim and is a wonderful example of our programming mandate focused on unique, authentic stories by, about and for women and underrepresented audiences.

We are overwhelmed by the outpouring of love for season one and have been hard at work for the last few months crafting the next chapter of this Bay story.

They done fucked around and gave us more runway, so welcome back to the ordeal.
