What is the plot of Pretty Smart?
The synopsis for Pretty Smart is courtesy of Netflix:
After getting unexpectedly dumped by her boyfriend, Chelsea a high-brow, Harvard-educated intellectual and aspiring novelist is forced to move in with her bubbly, carefree, not-so-intellectual West Coast sister, Claire, and her three lovably eccentric, not-so-intellectual roommates: Grant, a distractingly handsome personal trainer, Solana, a former lawyer turned healer, and Jayden, a social media influencer. But Chelsea’s tough, sometimes judgemental exterior starts to soften as she gets to know her new friends, and they begin to form an unlikely-found family.
Who are the cast members of Pretty Smart?
The casting of Emily Osment is likely to go down well with plenty of 90s kids who grew up watching the actress in Spy Kids and Hannah Montana. Since her days at Disney, Osment has gone on to star in plenty of roles since her days at Disney. The actress had her own show on ABC Family, Young & Hungry, which ran for five seasons between 2014 and 2018. Some Netflix subscribers will recognize Osment for her time on The Kominsky Method as Theresa.

What is the episode count for Pretty Smart season 1?
Unlike traditional sitcoms Netflix often airs fewer episodes, Pretty Smart also follows this trend with only ten episodes in the first season.
Episodes have a runtime of 30 minutes.
Can we expect to see a second season of Pretty Smart?
Netflix has had a rocky history with sitcoms, however, there’s always a chance Pretty Smart will be a smash hit with subscribers.
Given that Pretty Smart took three months to film, it’s highly likely that more than ten episodes were produced, but we’re still waiting for Netflix to confirm if a second season is on the way.
