Season 2 of CHILDREN RUIN EVERYTHING made its U.S. debut on Friday, February 3, 2023 on Roku Channel, as the streaming service released all eight episodes of the new season. Astrid and James continue to raise their young children while struggling to hold onto their pre-parental identities. In the midst of all the hilarious and creative ways that kids can alter plans, annihilate goals and dreams, and force parents to re-invent their lives, it turns out that maybe things are kind of okay! Nowhere near as effortless as that kid-free life -- but still kind of nice.
