In Season 2, the new characters are:

Maddie: Buck’s sister. Abuse survivor. Level-headed 9-1-1 operator. Likes Chimney.
Buck: ok hello it’s our White Boy of the month. Honestly a cinnamon roll. He cries at military homecoming videos.
Season 2 is still running! It focuses on surviving abuse, PTSD, caregivers esp. single parents! Disability, special education, sexism, racism.
