LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Smother-in-Law', also known as 'A Sogra Que Te Pariu,' Netflix's first Brazilian multi-camera sitcom, is back with Season 2 in which Dona Isadir finds a way to stay with her son Carlos and daughter-in-law Alice while also trying to disrupt their lives. The show is based on the cliche that mothers-in-law and wives start competing for the man's attention and affection as a son and as a husband.

The script for the sitcom was created and co-written by comedian Rodrigo Sant'Anna and Wagner Trindade. The show is directed by Alex Cabral and produced by Os Suburbanos Produçes. The Brazilian comedy series, which was shot in Rio de Janeiro, reached number six on the streaming service's Top 10 Global Non-English Language Series list with its debut season.
