“I didn’t think it could get better than Season 1! I had a blast in Australia, Thailand and Switzerland! There was shopping, skiing, surfing, sheet masks, elephants, first dips, delicious food, wine, cheese, chocolate and thirteen year old Tracee… All while enjoying my own company,” Ross tells PEOPLE in an exclusive statement.
Season 1 of the series, which premiered in July 2025, saw the Black-ish star travel to Morocco, Mexico, and Spain. It became the No. 1 unscripted show in Roku history, according to the company. The series was renewed in August 2025.

So here’s to all the solo travelers out there, the aspiring solo travelers, those who share in the joy of solo travel by watching me do it, and, of course, to my fellow over-packers!” Ross said in a press release at the time
“There’s so much more to see and do — the world is our oyster! I can’t wait to see where I’ll be going next and to bring all of you along.”

Last year, Ross spoke about the inspiration behind her new show, and admitted she’s an over-packer.
“I have been solo traveling since I was like 24, 25, I take at least one maybe two solo travel trips a year, and I’m 52, it’s been a long run,” she explained.

She added: “I went on a trip, my regular summer trip, and a guy that was helping me at the airport was like ‘Oh my god, we wait every year for your first dips, we wait for your outfits in Paris, it’s like an event on Instagram.’”
When it comes to packing, she said she follows a strict “BIA” policy — “Bring it all.”
“When I go on vacation, it’s my opportunity to like wear all my beautiful things,” she said.
Season 2 of Solo Traveling with Tracee Ellis Ross premieres July 20 on the Roku Channel.
