The first season of That Girl Lay Lay dominated the Netflix top 10 lists after premiering on Nickelodeon in late 2021 and then globally on Netflix in January 2022. The show received a second season order, and after airing on Nickelodeon, it will be available globally on Netflix.
The 12-episode first season of the Nick series, which is led by Alaya High, was ordered back in May 2021. At only 15 years old, the hip-hop singer turned actress has acquired a sizable fan base (1.3 million on Instagram). The protagonist of the show is a student named Sadie who already had a lot on her plate coping with school, but her life is made even more difficult when her hype-girl phone avatar comes to life.
Both the Netflix Original and the Nickelodeon branding can be seen on the series outside of the US.
Given that Netflix has released some Nickelodeon movies with comparable marketing strategies, this isn’t entirely unique. The show’s marketing rights are shared by Netflix and Nickelodeon, and Netflix Futures and Nick both publish trailers on YouTube. This sitcom is most likely (though not definitely) the first project to result from the 2019 Nickelodeon Netflix partnership.
A press statement stated that “Season 2 of That Girl Lay Lay will feature more music and magical abilities as the two best friends continue to go on even more thrilling adventures, aiming to fulfil Lay Lay’s goal to experience everything that comes with being a true adolescent. The television show also stars Tiffany Daniels as Sadie’s mother Trish, Peyton Perrine III as Sadie’s brother Marky, and Thomas Hobson as Sadie’s father Bryce.
