The series centers on Ashley (Jones), who is on the cusp of leading a middle-class life in Oakland, California, until Miles (Casal), her partner of 12 years and the father of their son, Sean (Atticus Woodward) is suddenly incarcerated. As Ashley’s left behind to navigate a new chaotic life when she’s forced to move in with Miles’ mother Rainey (Hunt) and sister, Trish (Jaylen Barron). Debuting back in 2021, Blindspotting garnered critical acclaim and attention.
The show maintains a lighthearted and fun tone while also tackling complex issues with a comedic twist, shining a light on the hijinks Ashley and family get into as she juggles her hectic life in the Bay area. Season 2 picks up nine months after Ashley and Miles’s prison nuptials that were exchanged in the Season 1 finale.

Doing backflips to raise their son alone, Ashley is reaching a breaking point and is taking it out on everyone around her. Meanwhile, Miles is adjusting to life on the inside and counting down the days until their first family visitation weekend at San Quentin. As for Rainey, she’s doing her best to make Ashley and Sean feel at home while trying to stay connected to Miles from behind bars, but Ashley holds the cards in this scenario.
Additionally, Trish’s new business is flourishing, but she’s dealing with jealousy issues now that her bestie Jacque (April Absynth) is dating Cuddie (Lance Holloway). As for Janelle (Candace Nicholas-Lippman), she is growing frustrated with Ashley’s constant need for support and is missing her life back in Bali. And Earl (Benjamin Turner) moves out of Nancy’s (Margo Hall) house in an attempt to reconnect with his own family.
