The second season of Faking It, an American single-camera romantic comedy, premiered on September 23, 2014, and concluded on November 2, 2015, on the MTV network. In June 2014, the series was renewed for a second season of 10 episodes, which was later expanded to 20 episodes.[1] [2]
In the aftermath of the first-season finale, the gang has to deal with the consequences of their choices. Karma (Katie Stevens) finds out Amy (Rita Volk) and Liam (Gregg Sulkin) slept together and starts having trust issues with both of them. Lauren (Bailey De Young) has her secret about being intersex exposed. Shane (Michael Willett) finds himself a new boyfriend—Duke (Skyler Maxon)—and Amy tries to figure out her sexuality while she tries to push her feelings for Karma away.
After being locked up for drug dealing, Karma's family is having financial problems and have to rent their house to Felix (Parker Mack), the new guy in school. Liam promised his dad to give up art and started an internship at his family's company, along with Zita (Chloe Bridges), whom he befriends. After Shane outing him as gay, Duke and him fight and they break up. Amy tries to spend more time with her dad while she's still unsure about her feelings for Karma.
On June 9, 2014, the series was picked up for a ten-episode second season,[3] which was later expanded to a twenty-episode season. The episodes for 2A were broadcast on the time slot of Tuesdays from 10:30 PM–11:00 PM EST, while the 2B ones were broadcast on the time slot of Mondays from 9:30 PM–10:00 PM EST.[4]

The Young Folks had this to say about season 2A: "Faking It's sophomore season starts off with a bang, an emotional rollercoaster that, while not as big as the season finale's final minutes, has the perfect backdrop to lead up to some jaw-dropping events in the future."[5] While "We Got This Covered" said this about season 2B: "Faking It is still a humorous nexus of forward-thinking, silver-tongued teenagers, but the second half of season two also cements the show as something else: a damn good ensemble sitcom."[6]
