TORONTO, October 7, 2019 – Leading lifestyle entertainment company Kin Community Canada announced today Season 2 of Jessi Cruickshank’s New Mom, Who Dis? on Facebook Watch will kick-off with an exclusive interview with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Nothing is off the table as Cruickshank and the PM sit down for a funny and honest discussion about family life, raising kids, and the impact his policies have on families and children. New Mom, Who Dis? captures the Prime Minister like never seen before – sharing light-hearted family stories but also answering hard-hitting policy questions and taking real questions from real kids. The premiere episode maintains Cruickshank’s signature tongue-in-cheek approach to parenthood while tackling powerful questions Canadians want the answers to. Season 2 will air globally on Facebook Watch beginning on October 9, 2019, with new episodes rolling out weekly.

Produced by and starring Cruickshank, the inaugural season of New Mom, Who Dis? became the #1 Canadian series on Facebook Watch*, with a highly-engaged fan-following of moms and viewers tuning in to see what “the funniest mom on the internet” (Today’s Parent) did next. The second season once again follows the Canadian entertainment personality, and mother of twin boys, as she navigates the world of motherhood with her hilarious take on all things MOM, along with a look at some of the more serious topics Canadian parents care about through exclusive interviews, roundtables, Q&As and celebrity guests.
“New Mom, Who Dis? was an instant hit with Canadian women and we’re incredibly proud of the show’s success,” says Rick Matthews, Vice President of Kin Canada. “The second season continues to be a fun and fresh take on motherhood, and Jessi brings unparalleled wit and heart to every episode that deeply relates to her dedicated fans”.
Other notable appearances this season are world-famous parenting expert Betsy Brown Braun; Tyler Henry from E!’s Hollywood Medium; the hilarious duo behind Cat & Nat, Catherine Belknap and Natalie Telfer; the woman who is credited with inventing the Gender Reveal Party; and headline-making gay dads. Plus, Cruickshank travels to Hollywood to see if her kids have what it takes to be the next Olsen Twins.
In addition to distributing the show, Kin Community Canada continues to provide sales and marketing support for the series, with opportunities for brands to integrate into Season 2 now available. New Mom, Who Dis? is also Executive Produced by Jason Yantha.
