# Charlie's Angels season 2

This is a list of episodes for the second season of the 1970s TV series Charlie's Angels. Originally aired from September 14, 1977 to May 10, 1978 for a total of 26 episodes, season two starred Kate Jackson, Jaclyn Smith, David Doyle, and introduced Cheryl Ladd as Kris Munroe, the younger sister of former Angel Jill Munroe (Farrah Fawcett-Majors).
Although there were initial doubts as to whether Ladd could fill the void left by Fawcett-Majors, after her enthusiastic "grand entrance" Kris was warmly welcomed. Co-star Jaclyn Smith said of Ladd: "She had big shoes to fill and she did it with confidence". With Ladd being accepted as Kris, ratings finished in the #4 slot for the season.
Although not an original cast member or character, Cheryl Ladd as Kris gained fame and popularity equal to the original Angels, leading her to become a major star of the series, with several episodes centered on her.
