In their first interview since Youth Became a global phenomenon that received 114 million views and counting, Plan B-Co Presidents Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner told Deadline That they speak to director Philip Barantini about the show’s “next iteration”.
Many viewers have questioned this decision. A person wrote on X/Twitter: “Is another season really needed, or does it risk diluting the influence of the show?”
Another added: “One season two is unnecessary, must be one and performed limited series as it was intended to be.”
Plan B Co-produced the original series with Barantini’s It’s All Counting Productions along with Star Steven Graham’s Matriarch Productions, Warp Films and One Shoe Films.
Kleiner and Gardner expressed their gratitude for the success of the show and argued that it portrayed an “seemingly small, local, emotional story” that can resonate with people globally.
