Crackle, a free streaming service has revealed that Season 2 of its original series Going from Broke has begun development. New episodes will premiere exclusively on Crackle in May 2021.

Going From Broke is an unscripted series that focuses on a massive financial crisis. A total of $1.7 trillion in student debt has been accumulated by over 44 million Americans.

The series follows six new cast members who are drowning in debt and seek assistance from inspiring guests and financial experts in order to solve their financial difficulties. During the six-week production period, Crackle will shoot and air episodes in “real-time,” allowing viewers to follow along with the cast as they struggle with debt during the pandemic.

What is the story about?

Going From Broke, an award-winning unscripted series focusing on helping millennials solve their debilitating financial challenges comes from Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment and Executive Producer Ashton Kutcher. People are graduating from college with mountains of debt from student loans and other sources, as well as a dwindling pool of job opportunities. Worse, they lack the basic financial literacy necessary to get themselves out of trouble. Dan Rosensweig, CEO of Chegg, and financial specialist Tonya Rapley collaborate with young people to help them become the CEO of their own lives on the show Going From Broke.
