TLC has renewed I Am Shauna Rae for a second season. The reality show about a young woman who is, in her words, “trapped in the body of an 8-year-old,” will return with more episodes, its star has said.

‘I Am Shauna Rae’ renewed for season 2 

I Am Shauna Rae premiered in January 2022. It follows Shauna Rae, a 22-year-old whose growth was stunted due to treatment for a rare form of brain cancer. Following chemotherapy, her pituitary gland was left nearly dormant. As a result, she is under 4-feet tall and is sometimes mistaken for a child. 

Her appearance can be a challenge for Shauna, who sometimes struggles to be treated as the adult that she is. “Even though I physically can’t grow up, I desperately want to be treated like a grown-up,” she explained in a teaser for the show.  

TLC viewers can continue to follow Shauna’s quest for independence in the show’s second season. In a May 15 Instagram post, she confirmed that more episodes were in the works. 

“Here’s the answer to the question everyone has been asking! I Am Shauna Rae has been renewed for a Season 2!!” she wrote. Variety also reported the renewal news. There’s no premiere date yet for the new episodes. 

Shauna Rae recently got her learner’s permit 

One challenge Shauna has faced in the past has been getting her driver’s license. Being able to drive would be a “huge step” to getting more of the independence she craves, she said during an episode of I Am Shauna Rae that showed her studying for her learner’s permit exam. 

Shauna recently got one step closer to her goal. She revealed in a March 24 Instagram post that she’s received her learner’s permit. 

“Went into the DMV yesterday! Got the process started with driving and got my temporary permit!!” she shared. 

She’s also been sharing other updates about her life since season 1 ended, including photos from a family trip to Disney World.
