== Plot ==
Rizz Fields and his friends are navigating work, love and their family. Rizz is 51 years old. He had finished college in Brazil and has been pretty successful. He has not hosted his home video show in a long time, but decides to restart it in the pilot episode. J.J. Coleman has been through two divorces and her startup company has gone bankrupt, leading her to move back in with her father. Shea Fields has become very wealthy and is the most successful out of the three returning characters. She continues to reside in the Fields' Apartment, which has been remodeled.
It is mentioned in the first episode that Bob Marshall is off “following his dreams” as a drag racer, hence his absence.
Rizz's roommate, Chadrick House, is a bisexual character who dreams of becoming a radio personality. They both reside in a new apartment at Trimstone Plaza. Nico pushes his dad out of his comfort zone as they confront day to day obstacles and vice versa. J.J.’s adopted step-son, Terrence Tyson, is social media-obsessed and sees the older Rizz as washed up as well as competition to his small YouTube channel.
