Sofia Black-D’Elia talks the new season of “Single Drunk Female”, her role as Sam, and her career so far
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE SUCCESS OF ‘SINGLE DRUNK FEMALE’! WHAT WAS THE FIRST THING THAT STOOD OUT TO YOU WHEN YOU AUDITIONED FOR THE ROLE OF SAM AND MADE YOU THINK, I NEED TO PLAY HER?
Two things stood out to me immediately: the tricky tone and the brutally honest, deeply funny take on a mother-daughter relationship. I wanted in on both.
Sofia Black-D’Elia talks about second season of ‘Single Drunk Female’
The actress stars in Freeform’s hit drama-comedy alongside Ally Sheedy.
We can exclusively reveal that Sofia Black-D’Elia and Ray Nicholson are set to star in Cazzie David and Elisa Kalani’s directorial debut, ‘I Love You Forever,’ which has just wrapped filming.
Described as “a subversive romantic comedy gone wrong,” the film follows a young woman (Black-D’Elia) who starts to suspect her new boyfriend (Nicholson) is not what he initially appears to be. The film is produced by critically acclaimed screenwriter Diablo Cody, who is known for her work on ‘Juno,’ ‘Young Adult’ and ‘Jennifer’s Body,’ and Mason Novick, who produced ‘500 Days of Summer.’ In addition to directing, David and Kalani have also written the screenplay for the film.
Black-D’Elia is known for her starring role in Hulu comedy series ‘Single Drunk Female,’ while Nicholson starred in Prime Video series ‘Panic’ and most recently appeared alongside Zoey Deutch and Kendrick Sampson in holiday rom-com ‘Something from Tiffany’s.’ David most recently had a recurring role in season 3 of ‘The Umbrella Academy.’
It turns out that the road to adulthood is just as hard as the path to recovery. Single Drunk Female returns to Freeform April 12 10/9c, next day on Hulu.
The second season of the critically acclaimed comedy “Single Drunk Female” will debut on WEDNESDAY, APRIL 12, at 10:00 p.m. EDT/PDT, with the entire 10-episode second season available on Hulu and on-demand platforms the next day, THURSDAY, APRIL 13. Ian Gomez (“Cougar Town”) has been elevated to series regular as Carol’s boyfriend, Bob. Busy Philipps (“Cougar Town”) and Ricky Velez (“The King of Staten Island”) will recur as new people in Sam’s life, and Charlie Hall (“The Sex Lives of College Girls”) will once again recur as Sam’s ex, Joel. As previously announced, Molly Ringwald will guest star as Carol’s sister-in-law Alice.
In season two, with a year and a half of sobriety under her belt, Samantha Fink finally feels like she has a life worth celebrating. However, Sam quickly learns that sometimes life has other plans for her. Sam must figure out how to effect change where she can, sit in her discomfort when she can’t, and maybe even enjoy the ride. “Single Drunk Female” stars Sofia Black-D’Elia, Ally Sheedy, Sasha Compere, Lily Mae Harrington, Garrick Bernard and Ian Gomez. The series comes from 20th Television and is executive produced by Jenni Konner, Daisy Gardner, Simone Finch, John Riggi, Phil Traill, Nora Silver and Leslye Headland.
