The sixth and final season of the American television sitcom 2 Broke Girls premiered on CBS on October 10, 2016, and concluded on April 17, 2017. The series was created and executively produced by Michael Patrick King and Whitney Cummings. The season focuses on Max Black, a sarcastic below-the-poverty-line waitress, and Caroline Channing, a disgraced New York socialite turned waitress, as they continue their cupcake business venture.
Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs portray the two lead characters of the series, Max Black and Caroline Channing. The main cast is rounded out by actors Garrett Morris, Jonathan Kite, Matthew Moy, and Jennifer Coolidge, who portray Earl, Oleg, Han Lee, and Sophie Kaczynski, respectively.
This is the second time that a season premieres on October instead of September, and the first time the season ended in April instead of May. On May 12, 2017, it was announced the series was canceled after six seasons. The season finale, titled "And 2 Broke Girls: The Movie", now serves as a de facto series finale.[1][2][3]
Plot[edit]
The final season follows Max Black (Kat Dennings) and Caroline Channing (Beth Behrs) as they continue to delve into their business venture, Max's Homemade Cupcakes, as their personal lives and relationships become more and more complicated. Following the end of season five, Max and Caroline are now part-owners of the Brooklyn diner, along with Han. Sophie and Oleg navigate through the complications of becoming new parents, as their differences and similarities come into play on their now growing family.
