AOL and Vuguru Present the Highly Anticipated Second Season of Hit Series Little Women Big Cars
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- AOL and Vuguru, an independent studio founded by Michael D. Eisner that finances world-class story-driven content for digital and emerging platforms, today announced the highly anticipated premiere of Season 2 of Little Women BIG CARS. Season 1 of the hit comedy premiered last year on AOL On Parenting and quickly garnered over 5.7 million views.
In Season 2 of Little Women BIG CARS, Amy Yasbeck (Wings, Hot in Cleveland), Julie Warner (Crash, Nip/Tuck) and Kristy Swanson (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Psych) reprise their roles as suburban soccer moms struggling to balance their hectic lives both on and off the field in this lighthearted comedy. Anita Barone (The War at Home, Shake it Up!) joins the ensemble cast as Connie.
The four moms' divergent parenting styles test their friendship when Rocky puts her daughter on the beauty pageant circuit. Barbara's blossoming relationship with soccer coach A.J. becomes more awkward when their exes, Richard and Doro, start canoodling on the soccer field sidelines. Meg stresses when her school finance committee gets audited, and things get worse when she discovers that Connie's husband is being unfaithful. The humor unfolds as the friends struggle to manage the chaos of kids and their personal lives.
