SYNOPSIS: 

Groundbreaking comedian Tig Notaro returns for Season Two of the acclaimed Amazon Studios series One Mississippi, inspired by her own life and family. Longadmired for her deadpan observational comedy, Notaro plays Tig, a story-telling L.A. disc jockey who moves back to her quaint Mississippi hometown after her mother dies.  Love is in the air in when we pick back up with Tig, her stepfather Bill (John Rothman) and her brother Remy (Noah Harpster), living together again in the family’shome in Mississippi. It’s a season of new beginnings and new relationships for each of them, all of which test their personal status quo...as well as family boundaries. Tig resumes her radio career in Biloxi with producer Kate (Stephanie Allynne) by her side,though her outspoken point of view proves controversial for the local market. An opportunity to take a bigger stage in New Orleans comes with more reach, and also more responsibility.
