Welcome Back to Merinac
The season opens with a cozy welcome from the show’s narrator, played by Margo Martindale. She sets the stage for what’s about to unfold.
Merinac, a town that once thrived because of its train service, is buzzing again—thanks, honestly, to The Chicken Sisters. With the rival chicken joints Mimi’s and Frannie’s now merged into the famous Chicken Sisters, the town’s got a second wind.
Family Reconciliations and New Beginnings
Amanda Moore Hillier (Schuyler Fisk) has patched things up with her mother, Augusta “Gus” Moore (Wendie Malick), after Gus’s MS diagnosis. Family life gets even more interesting with Nancy Hillier (Lea Thompson), Amanda’s mother-in-law, stepping in to help Gus.
Amanda’s sister Mae (Genevieve Angelson) has moved back from New York and is now engaged to Jay (Samer Salem). It’s a lot of change, honestly, but it feels like the family’s growing closer—if a little messier.
Frank Jr.’s Betrayal
Not everything’s rosy in Merinac, though. Frank Hillier Jr. (James Kot), Amanda’s almost-ex-husband, pretty much burned all his bridges when he took the competition prize money and opened his own fast-food chicken joint.
He’s been banned from the Chicken Sisters, and even his own mom, Nancy, has cut him off. Still, Frank Jr. refuses to sign the divorce papers and keeps showing up at Amanda’s house to do his laundry. Honestly, it’s a little awkward for everyone.
The reality show Ultimate Kitchen Clash has landed in Merinac, and it’s making everyone a little jumpy. The competition episode—Mimi’s vs. Frannie’s—is about to air, and there’s a twist: hidden camera footage is involved.
Sabrina Skye (Rukiya Bernard) is back in town, too, looking for comfort from Amanda’s daughter, Frankie (Cassandra Sawtell), after her own family drama. Things are definitely heating up in more ways than one.
The Heart of the Show
At its core, The Chicken Sisters is really about the relationships between its main characters. The chemistry between Amanda, Mae, Nancy, and Gus just works.
Lea Thompson and Wendie Malick bring both comedy and depth to their roles—sometimes you can’t help but smile, other times, you feel the weight of their struggles.
Supporting Characters Shine
The supporting cast adds a lot, too. Linzey (Kelcey Mawema) and Frankie’s friendship is genuinely sweet—honestly, I hope we see more of them this season.
Pastor McGregor (Matthew James Dowden) and waitress Shawna (Caitlin Howden) bring some extra humor and warmth, rounding out the world of Merinac nicely.
A Perfect Blend of Comedy and Drama
Showrunner Erin Gibson has nudged The Chicken Sisters into slightly more comedic and scandalous territory this time, but it still feels warm and inviting. The show finds a nice balance between laugh-out-loud moments and heartfelt drama.
It’s a mix that feels both entertaining and, honestly, pretty relatable if you’ve ever lived in a small town.
