The first season of Single Drunk Female will be ten episodes. Currently, Jojo's character is set to appear in six of the episodes. Although it is unclear whether her character is recurring, fans are excited to see Samantha's journey through sobriety aided by her friends, family, and co-workers.
Creator Simone Finch told Deadline that she has been trying to write Single Drunk Female for years, and the story of Samantha is strongly influenced by her sobriety journey: "I started writing this in 2012 before I got sober, and I got sober, and I realized it was about a girl getting sober." Finch is currently seven years and eight months sober. She added, "I called it a living script as it sort of evolved as I got more sober."
Executive producers Jenni Konner and Daisy Gardner said their goal for the show is to stay authentic and respectful of sobriety. Gardner even told Deadline the show enlisted a sobriety consultant to keep the show rooted in reality. "The gratitude and responsibility that people feel towards a program that helps them – we’re incredibly respectful. There’s always a center to it, and everything else can be funny, but we want to respect sobriety."
Single Drunk Female premieres on Jan. 20, 2022, at 10 p.m. EST on Freeform.
