Speaking on the renewal of the series, Jamie and Sophie said: “We were blown away by the response to the show and are so excited to keep sharing our journey. The experience of working with Disney+ and Dorothy Street Pictures for season one made it easy for us to say yes. We’ve always documented our lives over the years and continuing to do this on a bigger scale is just amazing. We hope that fans and viewers carry on enjoying our honesty as we continue to navigate raising Ziggy, together with balancing our family and professional lives. We can’t wait to bring you in more.”

Now, as Jamie and Sophie step into their next chapter as parents, we’re delighted to be back alongside them for an access-all-areas look at their lives as they embrace the joy, chaos and unexpected realities of becoming a family. Jamie and Sophie have a rare ability to be completely open, funny and honest, inviting audiences into both the big milestones and the intimate, unfiltered moments in between. We can’t wait for viewers to join them for what promises to be their biggest adventure yet.”
