If anyone is hoping for a second season of Brand New Cherry Flavor, regrettably this won’t be happening. Netflix has listed the show as a limited series, meaning only one season is planned. While it isn’t impossible for a second season to happen if the show proves popular with viewers, it isn’t likely.
