From Broke is an unscripted series that spotlights a financial
epidemic of huge proportions. Over 44 million Americans are saddled with
student debt totaling over $1.7 trillion dollars. Making matters worse in
Season 2, are the compounding issues of the last 12 months: COVID-19, record
unemployment, and a country on the emotional and financial brink. This series
aims to empower people to overcome their crippling financial struggles and
become CEO of their own lives.
In the second season, viewers will meet six new cast
members. Throughout the six weeks of production, Crackle will shoot and air
episodes in “real time” so the audience can go along on a journey with the cast
members while they deal with debt during the pandemic. Viewers can use social
media to continue the conversation from each episode with Rosenweig, Kutcher,
Chegg, and Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the dire financial
situation that so many young people already found themselves in,” said Rosensweig,
host & CEO of Chegg, Inc. “In Season 2, the stakes are higher; people are
struggling with unemployment, mounting debt, and potential physical and mental
health issues. We have the opportunity to provide a lifeline and help them get
back on track, working with them in real-time to get them on the path to
financial freedom.”
“This awesome production model brings viewers inside the
transformation process. Going From Broke is the first makeover
show that invites the audience to engage with the cast, financial experts and
each other across social media while watching the process unfold “live” on
Crackle,” said Kutcher, who executive produced both season one and two of the
series.
Season 1 of the series is available for free on Crackle if
you want to catch up before new episodes begin next month.
