Sweetbitter, based on the Stephanie Danler novel of the same name, follows Tess (Purnell), a 22-year-old who gets a job working at the celebrated restaurant after arriving in New York City. Tess is then thrown into a world of drugs, alcohol, love, lust, dive bars and fine dining.

Tom Sturridge, Caitlin FitzGerald, Evan Jonigkeit, Eden Epstein, Jasmine Matthews, Daniyar and Paul Sparks also star. Danler serves as creator, executive producer and writer on the series with Stuart Zicherman (The Americans) serviving as showrunner and executive producer. Sweetbitter hails from studio Plan B, which is headed by Brad Pitt and co-presidents Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner.

Starz renewed the series for a second season in July.
