Following the success of its inaugural season, Tracee Ellis Ross is set to return to screens with the second season of her popular series, ‘Solo Traveling with Tracee Ellis Ross’. The new episodes will debut on the Roku Channel on July 20, promising viewers an array of exciting and culturally rich adventures.
The first season of the series made history as Roku’s top unscripted show, captivating audiences with Ross’s explorations of Morocco, Mexico, and Spain. Now, the accomplished actress and founder of Pattern Beauty is embarking on new journeys to Northern Thailand, Melbourne, Australia, and Gstaad, Switzerland, where she reflects on her personal connections to these vibrant destinations.
Ross, now 53, has been engaged in solo travel for nearly three decades and uses her show as a platform to share the joy and freedom that come with exploring the world alone. In an exclusive statement to PEOPLE, she expressed her enthusiasm for the upcoming season, stating, “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.”
The new season promises to delve into an array of experiences, highlighting the culinary delights of Thailand’s northern region and immersing viewers in Melbourne’s famed surf culture. Moreover, Ross indicates a sense of nostalgia as she revisits Switzerland, a country where she spent part of her adolescent years, further enhancing the personal aspect of her travels.
Following the show’s renewal in August 2025, Ross continued to emphasize the profound connection she has with her audience, noting, “The way the show is resonating feels truly special — all of the comments, the conversations, the connection… my cup runneth over.” She shared her excitement about reaching fellow travel enthusiasts, aspiring solo adventurers, and those who delight in her journeys vicariously.
In previous interviews, Ross revealed her passion for solo travel, which began when she was around 24 or 25 years old. This experience has led to at least one or two solo trips each year, cultivating a rich reservoir of experiences to share with her viewers. “I have been solo traveling since I was like 24. It’s been a long run,” she noted.
Her packing philosophy also added a humorous touch to her travels, as she proudly embraces a “BIA” approach—”Bring it all.” Ross remarked, “When I go on vacation, it’s my opportunity to like wear all my beautiful things,” showcasing her love for fashion and self-expression alongside her adventures.
The first season’s success and Ross’s unique storytelling style not only foster a sense of wanderlust but have also created a community of solo travellers who share in the joys of exploration. With the second season set to build upon this foundation, fans eagerly await the new destinations and insights she will uncover.
As anticipation builds, Ross is keen to continue sharing her travels and experiences, stating, “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.”
For those interested in indulging in wanderlust and discovering the beauty of solo travel through the eyes of an iconic figure, ‘Solo Traveling with Tracee Ellis Ross’ promises a delightful experience beginning this summer.
