== Season 2 (2019-21)==
Season 2 is the second season of Big City Greens. It premiered on November 16, 2019 after an eight month hiatus with the episodes "Cricket's Kapowie" and "Car Trouble", and ended on April 3, 2021 with "Cousin Jilly" and "Gloria's Café".
====Overview====
In comparison to the first season, this season features more "themed" episodes, including a musical Christmas special and a CGI-themed episode ("Green Christmas" and "Level Up" respectively), and more episodes focusing on specific topics like swindling and swearing ("Flimflammed" and "Bleeped" respectively).
In addition to themed episodes, the season is the first to focus on other characters outside of the Green family; the first notable instance of this is "Spaghetti Theory", an episode revolving around the many minor faces of Big City. A few characters who appeared in the previous season appear in this season, including new characters like Gwendolyn Zapp and Mayor Hansock.
Season 2 is also the point which officially sets Chip Whistler up as the main antagonist of the show, in which the Greens help Chip get the position of CEO of Wholesome Foods and take over for his retiring father ("Reckoning Ball"). However, they soon realize he tricked them into accepting his apology that he's sorry for their actions so that he can run them out of town with all the power he has ("Friend Con"); at the end of the second half, Chip takes over Big Coffee and plots an expansion plan which will be right where the Greens' house currently stands, and the family must defeat him once and for all ("Chipwrecked" and "Chipocalypse Now").
Like the first season, this season comprises 30 half-hours with 58 episode segments, 56 11-minute episodes and two full half-hour episodes ("Green Christmas" and "Chipocalypse Now"). Season 2 also marks the start of Disney Channel's new "binge-watching" method of episode airing, in which instead of releasing 2-4 new episodes a month after production, the crew now has to write, record, and animate a total of 8-10 episodes and release them all at once. Because of this, the seasons are now divided into three halves, with episodes 1-10 making up the first part, episodes 11-20 making up the second part, and episodes 21-30 making up the last part.
In addition to the new method, starting this season as with all late-2021 animated Disney productions, during Disney Channel airings, the end credits are now "marginalized" and appear on the bottom third of the screen during the last 30 seconds of the show. Also, an ad break is added right after the theme song to compensate with this and to make more time for commercials.
This season was released to Disney+ on May 21, 2021. This was also the final season released in its entirety before shifting to groups of episodes from Season 3 onward.
====Production====
On May 18, 2018, the series was renewed for a second season ahead of its season 1 premiere. 
Production on Season 2 began on August 1, 2019.
Shane Houghton announced that this season would have an additional 30 half hour episodes, similar to the first season, bringing over 60 episodes from both of the series' seasons, with 120 11 minute segments in total.
Season 2 featured more of the same content as the first season, with more high-profile guest stars, more shorts, promos, and new original content releasing throughout its run.  On April 26, 2019, the show was featured during the Fan Fest 2019, with the creators showing storyboard animations of upcoming episodes, including a beach-themed episode ("Shark Objects"), which was mentioned to premiere sometime in the fall of that year. Tilly's voice actor, Marieve Herington, mentioned in an interview that Season 2 will get more "wackier and wackier", mentioning an episode where Tilly and Bill creates a video to be uploaded on a video sharing service ("Bad Influencer"). She also mentioned the series will have a night talk TV show, which would pan out to be Miss Tilly's Fun Time TV Minute, based on the Miss Tilly's Fun Time TV Hour segment in "Dream Weaver".  However, despite her description, the season had a few "dark" episodes as well.
On August 24th, during D23 2019, Shane added that a musical Christmas special, containing 6 songs associated with the theme, would come out. The episode would turn out to be "Green Christmas". Another musical special, "Okay Karaoke", would premiere on February 7, 2021; alongside it was the release of the official album Big City Greens: Don't Think, Just Sing!. The season also features a video game-themed episode with CG animation ("Level Up").
Guest stars for season two include: 
*NBA All-Star Karl-Anthony Towns
* Alfred Molina (Spider-Man 2)
*Thomas Middleditch (Silicon Valley)
*Jonathan Van Ness (Queer Eye)
*Christopher Lloyd (Back to the Future)
*Jameela Jamil (The Good Place)
*Lucy Lawless (Xena the Warrior Princess)
*Jim O'Heir (Parks and Recreation)
*Ed Begley Jr. (Arrested Development)
*Cheri Oteri (Saturday Night Live)
*Candace Kozak (Disney Channel's Just Roll With It)
* Jason Maybaum (Disney Channel's Raven's Home)
*YouTube sensation SungWon Cho
"Cheap Show" in particular features Tom Hanks (Toy Story) playing himself, in the first instance of a high-profile celebrity being casted as a guest star on the show.
Halfway into production, the show went on hiatus for four months, mainly due to the coronavirus (colloquially COVID-19) pandemic, forcing most of the staff to work on the production of Season 2 restrictively at home. With the voice actors recorded all their dialogue from their bedroom closets. All vocal production was finished on July 8, 2020. It is noted that "Chipocalypse Now" storyboarding was done from home.
Season 2 resumed on January 16, 2021 with "Chipocalypse Now", a half-hour special which completely dives away from the show's usual formula. The season finished on April 3, 2021 with "Cousin Jilly" and "Gloria's Café".
===Shorts===
Several shorts premiered during Season 2's run, including the "Broken Karaoke" short-form series, where Big City Greens characters (later expanding to most of Disney Television Animation series) sing parodies of songs from Disney Channel movies. The first such short to be released is "Queen of Nice", a parody of "Queen of Mean" from Descendants 3. The Random Rings shorts, first showcased at D23 2019, premiered with "Cricket Calls a Karate School" and would extend to other Disney Channel animated series.
In addition, the Lip Switch short series, depicting movies released under Disney with the lips of a Big City Greens character, premiered during Season 2's end-of-year break with the DCOM Z-O-M-B-I-E-S being the first movie to be depicted. Over the Thanksgiving and Christmas period, the series got the Chibi Tiny Tales treatment.
Other shorts which premiered include Big City Greens: Road Trip and Big City Greens: Shortsgiving, the latter premiering November 2020; this short isn't considered to be part of any season, but DisneyNOW labels it as episode 31.
