Based on Chris Witaske’s popular Twitter account of the same name, the adult comedy follows Diane and Daniel as they navigate work, family, romance, and, most of all, how to party their brains; 8 all-new episodes stream late next month.
Netflix released first-look images from Chicago Party Aunt Part 2, eight all-new episodes that premiere December 30. The adult animated comedy is created by Chris Witaske, Jon Barinholtz, and Katie and inspired by the popular Twitter account, “Chicago Party Aunt.” The show follows Diane and Daniel as they navigate work, family, romance, and, most of all, how to party their brains out in the best damn city in the world.
In the series, Diane Dunbrowski has been the life of the party in her beloved hometown since the 1980s and has no plans on giving up the reins anytime soon. What she lacks in adulting skills, she makes up for with her heart of gold and stubbornly loyal determination to her family and friends. Still, it's clear Diane needs to adapt to the rapidly changing world around her unless she wants to become a relic of the past, like her favorite Spuds McKenzie poster. Luckily her favorite (and only) nephew, Daniel, defers going to college and decides to ditch the suburbs and live with his aunt in the big city. She is Daniel's blue-collar fairy godmother, ready to show him a good time, and he is her guide through the often-treacherous perils of modernity that are shifting beneath her daily.
The voice talent includes Lauren Ash; Rory O’Malley; RuPaul Charles; Jill Talley; Ike Barinholtz; Jon Barinholtz; Da’Vine Joy Randolph; Katie Rich, and Witaske.
Witaske; Jon Barinholtz, Rich, Ike Barinholtz, Dave Stassen; Will Gluck; Richie Schwartz; Chris Prynoski; Antonio Canobbio; Ben Kalina; and Matt Craig serve as executive producers. The animation is by Titmouse.
