Season 2 has already started production and will pick up the story of Penny Proud, her friends, and her family.

"Y'all ready for another one??" the show's Twitter asked Monday. "See you for #TheProudFamilyLouderAndProuder Season 2 on @DisneyPlus!" Fans were thrilled at the news, with one responding enthusiastically, "OH HECK YEAH!!!!!!!!! I AM SO READY FOR SEASON 2 OF THE PROUD FAMILY LOUDER AND PROUDER!!!!!!!!!!!"
