Survival of the Thickest is created by Buteau, an actress and comedian known for First Wives Club and hosting The Circle, and Danielle Sanchez-Witzel. The show is based on Buteau's memoir.
The new series follows Mavis Beaumont (Buteau), a newly single woman who reinvents her life after a breakup. The character lands a job as a stylist for a glamorous client (Garcelle Beauvais).
Tone Bell, Tasha Smith, Christine Horne, Peppermint and Michelle Visage also have roles.
"Black, plus-size and newly single (not by her choice!), Mavis unexpectedly finds herself having to rebuild her life as a struggling stylist. She's determined to not only survive but thrive with the support of her chosen family, a body positive attitude, and a cute v-neck with some lip gloss," an official synopsis reads.
Survival of the Thickest premieres July 13 on Netflix.
