What will happen in Season 2 of The Chicken Sisters?

In the first season finale, Amanda (Schuyler Fisk) joined forces with her sister Mae (Genevieve Angelson), their mother Gus (Wendie Malick) and her mother-in-law Nancy (Lea Thompson) to face off against her husband Frank Jr. (James Kot) in the final Kitchen Clash showdown, leaving him to fly solo. Deemed the underdog by Mr. Chicken (Clifton Murray), a successful restaurant chain owner tasked with casting the deciding vote, Frank Jr. was controversially crowned the winner. Sabrina Skye (Rukiya Bernard), the show’s host, quit in disgust, leaving her professional future in limbo. Amanda, Mae, Nancy and Gus opened their own fried chicken restaurant, The Chicken Sisters, while Frank Jr. proudly opened his own establishment as a franchisee of Mr. Chicken’s Cluckery.

The second season will follow Amanda, Mae, Nancy and Gus as they use The Chicken Sisters restaurant to officially put a generations-long feud to rest. Frank Jr. begins another by opening a Mr. Chicken’s Cluckery on Merinac’s Main Street and someone (David James Elliott) from Gus’ past comes back to town.
