It’s one and done for Netflix’s Pretty Smart. The multi-camera comedy series from Jack Dolgen, Doug Mand and Kourtney Kang will not return for a second season, we have confirmed. Pretty Smart starred Emily Osment as Chelsea a high-brow, Harvard-educated intellectual and aspiring novelist — who after getting unexpectedly dumped by her boyfriend was forced to move in with her bubbly, carefree, not-so-intellectual West Coast sister, Claire (Olivia Macklin), and her three lovably eccentric, not-so-intellectual roommates: Grant (Gregg Sulkin), a distractingly handsome personal trainer, Solana (Cinthya Carmon), a former lawyer turned healer, and Jayden (Michael Hsu Rosen), a social media influencer.
