More about Praise Petey

Rant’s screen exclusive clip of Praise Pete Season 1 Episode 2 shows Petey waking up in a seemingly calm environment. With soft instrumentals playing in the background and a friendly butterfly visiting, Petey reminds herself that if she stays positive, everything will be fine. However, her peaceful bubble is burst when a man on all fours makes his presence known at the foot of her bed. Petey immediately drops an F-bomb and splashes a cold bucket of water on the audience with the show’s abrupt shift in tone.

Things get even more interesting when the man introduces himself as Petey’s own human Shih Tzu and offers the same bed-warming service he provided for her father.. He also proves to be quite a grammarian, when he takes the opportunity to explain the difference between ‘lie’ and ‘layman’. The clip ends after Petey learns that she has inherited several other helpers, including her own personal limb stretcher, pleasant bird noise maker, Metamucil keeper, and correspondence reader.

The first two episodes of Praise Pete aired July 21 and are titled “Taxi to the South!” and “Unemployment Crisis.” New episodes are released weekly, with two consecutive episodes airing every Friday through August 18. The series is also available to stream on Hulu the following day.

Praise Pete premieres Friday, July 21 at 10:00 PM ET on Freeform.
