‘Sweet/Vicious’ Alum Aisha Dee Would Be On Board For A Potential Season 2 Of MTV Series
Aisha Dee is ready to reprise her role as Kennedy Cates in a potential Season 2 of “Sweet/Vicious.”
“Oh my God, I would be in like yesterday,” Dee told TV Guide when asked if she would be on board for a potential revival of the already canceled MTV series. “‘Sweet/Vicious’ was one of my favorite experiences ever. We still have a big group text that we all contribute to all the time. So yeah, I would be there no matter what.”
MTV canceled the sexual assault-focused series after one season last April. In a tweet, series creator Jennifer Kaytin Robinson wrote that the cancellation of the series should not make sexual assault survivors feel that their stories don’t matter. Robinson also promised that she and the rest of the show’s creative team will do everything they can to find “Sweet/Vicious” a new home. She also thanked the fans, critics and journalists who had helped them widen the reach of the show during its freshman run.

Although MTV canceled “Sweet/Vicious,” the network made it clear that it’s proud of the show for its critical acclaim. “MTV has decided to not move forward with a second season of ‘Sweet/Vicious.’ [But] we are extremely proud of this critically acclaimed series and are deeply disappointed such an impactful show did not find a larger audience,” the network said in a statement. “‘Sweet/Vicious’ was a show we loved from the start, with empowering female leads and a message we believe in. We are grateful the series started a much needed dialogue around sexual assault, and thank the talented Jennifer Robinson, Amanda Lasher, Stacey Sher and the stellar cast, writers and producers for creating such a timely and thought-provoking series.”
In February, MTV president Chris McCarthy admitted to Deadline that “Sweet/Vicious’” numbers were “disappointing,” but he acknowledged that the “sentiment for the show has been nothing but fantastic.” He also said at the time that he and his fellow execs love the characters of the series and how it relates to modern feminism.
Before the cancellation was finalized, McCarthy also told The Hollywood Reporter that they were trying to work on the best way to re-introduce the show for a potential second season. “‘Sweet/Vicious’ is a story we think is incredibly important and very timely and we’re trying to figure out what the right way to re-launch that and figure out what the next iteration of that is,” McCarthy said at the time.
