Juan Gil is ordering a la carte…
The Dominican American actor will become a series regular on the millennial dating dramedy À La Carte, following the series renewal for a second season by AMC Networks’ streamer AllBlk.
The series is currently in production in Atlanta, with Season 2 will air later this year exclusively on AllBlk and WE tv.
Gil, Kandi Burruss and Xavier Avila, who recurred in Season 1, have been promoted to series regulars, opposite leads Kendall Kyndall and Jenna Nolen.
They’ll be joined by newcomers Shani Marq, who will take over the role of Misha, played by Jessie Woo in Season 1, along with India Love and Alex Jacke.
Joining the cast as recurring characters are Romeo Miller, Tami Roman, Aspen Kennedy, Terayle Hill and Leon Fisher.
Tammy Rivera will guest star.
Season two of À La Carte will explore who Misha, Reign, and Shyra are as friends to each other without the friend that brought them all together, Mahogany. Her absence will serve as a catalyst for comedy and drama within this new friend dynamic. In our mid-20’s, relationships of convenience are fickle, and in L.A. especially, they are not easy to sustain. The mistakes they make will bring them closer in some ways and push them further apart in others. This season, the cast will continue their independent and collective journey discovering and unraveling who they are through the lens of comedy, love, sex, fire, and trial & error.
“This season we get to explore, elevate and dive deeper into the characters we’ve grown to love, and introduce some really dynamic and fun new cast,” said showrunner and executive producer, Dijon Talton. “We’re excited to continue exploring the nuanced human experience of Black individuals in their mid-20’s, giving them the permission to be flawed and yet still redeemable. AllBlkhas been an incredible partner and we are grateful to continue this journey with them. We couldn’t be more excited to start production on Season 2!”
“I am so excited about season two! AllBlk has provided us with an incredible, free-spirited and supportive platform to share and explore stories that are authentic and relatable,” says executive producer, Meagan Good. “I’m so grateful to be working with my cousin, Dijon Talton, who’s vision for À La Carte has enabled generation Z to feel seen, heard and understood all the while being allowed to be imperfect as they navigate their life experiences and grow through them.”
À La Carte is directed and executive produced by Dijon Talton and The Talton Company. Meagan Good serves as an executive producer. Christopher O’Conner serves as co-executive producer for Prodigi Arts Entertainment. Also serving as co-executive producer is Deonte Staats. Melissa A. Young will serve as producer. AllBlk’s General Manager, Brett Dismuke, and SVP of Development & Production, Nikki Love will serve as executive producers and VP of Development & Production Ashley McFarlin will serve as co-executive producer.
