Season 2 of The Politician will catch up with Ben Platt’s Payton Hubert, a 22-year-old who dreams of becoming President, and to make that goal a reality, he has to make his way to the senate.

The second season adds Judith Light who plays Senate Majority Leader Dede Standish, Payton’s new rival, and Bette Midler who plays her Chief of Staff, Hadassah Gold. Before unseating Standish, Payton has to figure out what kind of politician to be. Does he want to expose his component’s secrets and lies?

Gwyneth Paltrow returns as Payton’s mom, Georgina Hobart, who from the trailer looks like she doesn’t fully support her son’s political ambitions. Also returning are Zoey Deutsch, Lucy Boynton, Laura Dreyfuss, Theo Germaine, David Corenswet, and Ryan Haddad. Jackie Hoffman has been added to Season 2.

The Politician was created by Ryan Murphy, Brad Falchuk, and Ian Brennan. Paltrow, Platt, and Alexis Martin Woodall served as executive producers. 

Check out the trailer below.

First, Murphy confirmed that the dark comedy has added to its cast.

“That’s my diva update,” he said as a concluding remark for his announcements. 

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the series follows a wealthy student (Platt), who has known since age 7 that he’s going to be the president of the United States. But first, he’ll have to navigate the treacherous political landscape of high school and get elected student body president.

The series is produced by Fox 21 Television Studios and doesn’t fall under Murphy’s overall deal with the streaming giant.

The Politician will debut September 27 on Netflix.
