Check out the official renewal status post by the official Twitter account of @SoHelpMeCBS below:

However, this information has brought us all to a standstill since there was no official announcement regarding its release date, trailer, time, etc., so it has left the fans befuddled on the developments post-February 2023.

Another valid point to dwell on is the ongoing writers and actors strike, and the cataclysmic ripples its effects are sending throughout the industry.

Will So Help Me Todd’s Season 2 release date be affected by this? Will it even return in 2023 as promised?

We have compiled relevant updated news based on these questions and are more than happy to relieve you of your worries. Continue reading to find out more!

So Help Me Todd Season 2: Release Updates

So Help Me Todd: Release date, cast, plot and more

This leaves us in a tough spot since neither CBS nor the official page of the series has not notified us of any tentative date for the release of its second season.

Hence, we know for sure that it won’t be reaching us this July or August.. or even September, for that matter. Why?

You guessed it right. It is none other than the writer’s strike, which has the writers close off their pen caps and march the streets in protest for their rights(WGA). Along with them, the artists (SAG AFTRA) have also taken to the streets when their contract with the AMTP expired on 30th June 2023. The double feature strike is entering its second month now, and there are no signs of reconciliation or compensation on behalf of AMTP.

Looks like we will be here longer than we anticipated.

So as of the final week of July, we have no updates with regards to the release of our beloved “Dramedy” series.

So Help Me Todd Season 2: Is it a part of the CBS fall lineup?

So Help Me Todd: Release date, cast, plot and more

Initially, when CBS released its lineup amidst the strike in May, our eyes were blessed when we daw So Help Me, Todd, to the list. However, this was short-lived because CBS updated their fall lineup series (2023-2024), and So Help Me Todd did not make the cut! Sigh.. we were so close!

All evidence is now pointing to the fact that So Help Me Todd Season 2 Episode 1 will air in mid-2024. This is following the fact that script writing for Season has not been concluded due to the writers being on strike.

We are distraught to inform you that our beloved series won’t be reaching us in 2023 at all. However, we urge fans to keep it together and go through what we think you will see in Season 2 instead.

So Help Me Todd Season 2: Expected Plot

So Help Me Todd Season 2 Release Date Expectations: Everything we know so far

Season 1 of this new dramedy series astounded the fans as they quickly got hooked on it owing to the introduction of a new trajectory to the typical legal mystery series. So Help Me Todd features some light comedy coupled with great character development throughout the first season.

A hyperactive single mother is left alone to fend for herself with two children (one prodigal son), and the other a sensible normal daughter while she continues building her career up at her law firm. Most of her migraines and mood swings surrounded her son Todd Wright (played by Skylar Astin), who had his private detective license revoked due to some questionable actions on his part.

However, he is more than capable of reading people’s minds, solving perplexing mysteries, and is tech-savvy. But he is laidback and needs some motivation to get back on his feet. That’s when his mother, Margaret Wright (played by none other than the ethereal Marcia Gay Harden), steps in and offers her son a chance to join her law firm and help her out.

This duo takes us through a whirlwind of emotions, cases, mysteries, and some serious laughs and ends the season on major cliffhangers throughout the final scenes of the final episode ‘Are You There Todd? It’s Me, Margaret.’

Watch the final episode preview here:

Warning: Major Spoilers Ahead

So Help Me Todd Season 1 finale episode showed us Margaret’s wit and her ability to challenge Beverly, questioning her methods so much so that she threatened to leave and start her independent firm. This incident was followed by a sparked romance between Gus and Margaret, Susan and Peter’s unforeseen elopement, but what left us completely awestruck was the return of Margaret’s ex-husband, who escaped to Ireland saying he has Parkinson’s disease. He stood at her entrance and uttered the words, “Iceland was horrible,” which gives us a haunting reunion of the two.

So Help Me Todd Season 2 will deal with the aftermath of these storylines since there is much to see and develop.

Speaking of the success So Help Me Todd has garnered, Amy Reisenback (the President of CBS) states, “So Help Me Todd has charmed viewers with the incomparable chemistry between Marcia Gay Harden and Skylar Astin. With the series’ unique blend of captivating legal drama, laugh-out-loud humor, and intriguing family dysfunction, it’s no wonder the audience continues to grow.”

This means we will have more drama, humor, and family developments come our way in Season 2.

Talk about commitment to character!

In sharp contrast to that, in the same interview, Skylar Astin said, ” I really take the case at face value. And that’s what Todd does. He did not graduate from a private detective school. He just uses his wit and street smarts.”
