Many of us in the Body Positivity community are familiar with the dance company, Pretty Big Movement, who made headlines when they appeared on America's Got Talent back in 2015.



​
Looks like they're getting the full Hollywood treatment as Warner Bros. and HBO Max hired Queen of the South co-producer and Queen Sugar producer Tina Mabry to direct and co-write Pretty Big.

Netflix sure does love Nicole Byer as much as we do!
​
In addition to Byer's recent Comedy Special, "Nicole Byer: BBW (Big Beautiful Weirdo)" as well as her duties as host of Nailed It!, the streaming service is adding another Nicole led project: Bad Crimes. 

Even more astonishing, quite a few are premiering in the first couple months of the year! Check out a bunch we're excited about: ​

A new year and a new SYFY series, but this time it's starring a couple plus size Canadian actresses. Do you love Buffy? What about Supernatural or Wynonna Earp? Then this show is for you!  

​Check out the trailer for Astrid & Lilly Save the World below! 

Nicole Byer is back for another new season of Netflix's hit baking disaster series, Nailed It! 
You can check out the trailer below and catch the new episodes when they hit the streamer on September 15th.

Old Navy, who previously claimed that larger sizes require more fabric and thus plus size clothing was priced higher than straight sizes, made a smart move today with their BODEQUALITY launch. 

A few weeks ago Plus Model and Fat Activist Saucyé West posted a green square on Instagram with the hashtag #FightForInclusivity along with a simple and understandable caption: "If I'm tired, I know are too..." 
This post was just the beginning,  her call to action. 

Netflix is investing in their Nailed It! host, Nicole Byer, with a new one-hour comedy special, set to record this September in New York's Gramercy Theater.
Tickets for the two night event have already sold out. So while you can't be in the audience for Nicole's special, a new season of Nailed It! is just around the corner. 
Season 6 hits the streamer on Sept 15th.

Lizzo has been teasing new music since last week, but today she revealed that her new single, Rumors, is featuring Cardi B.

Rumors is set to drop this Friday, Aug 13th

After years of disappointment with America's Next Top Model's treatment of plus models, it seems a former contestant is taking matters into her own hands. ANTM Cycle 3 contestant Toccara Jones is hosting Thick House for Facebook Watch, along with judges EJ King and fashion blogger and stylist Kelly Augustine. 
Not a lot of details about the series is currently available, but rumor is Glee alum Amber Riley will make an appearance as a guest judge. According to Deadline, Thick House is part of Facebook Watch’s We the Culture programming slate, which is aimed at amplifying the voices of Black content creators. Thick House is produced by Sickbird Productions. Founded by Angelica Nwandu, The Shade Room is an Instagram-based Black media company.
Meet the 7 hopefuls below (courtesy of NYLON), and catch Thick House, when it premieres on May 16th at 4pm on Facebook Watch.

As someone completely unfamiliar with Pageantry, it's a pleasant surprise to discover an entire network keeping track of all the Plus Size pageants. Turns out there's not only a Ms. Full Figured USA, but many other celebrations of larger bodies.

We've been talking about it for months now, but the final season of Hulu's Shrill is almost here. With less than a month to go, the streamer dropped another trailer for the Aidy Brant series whose third and final season premieres on May 7th. Check it out below.

I have personally been looking forward to the release of Netflix's Thunder Force starring Melissa McCarthy and Octavia Spencer for over a year. The action comedy, written and directed by Ben Falcone, was clearly made by a group of good friends who enjoy playing together.

Every year Swimsuits for All releases new designs in collaboration with plus size icons like Ashley Graham and Gabi Fresh, and while 2020 was a very different year, the brand and designers didn't let it stop them. Check out some of Gabi's new looks with Swimsuits for All:
