“We are elated to have the opportunity to share more of the incredibly rich history of African Americans,” said executive producers Fabienne Toback and Karis Jagger. The next chapter of High on the Hog has many more beautiful untold histories. Numerous people reached out to ask us if there would be more and we are incredibly excited that Netflix has agreed to another season. The best is yet to come!”
