Tracee Ellis Ross and her series, “Solo” Traveling With Tracee Ellis Ross,” has been picked up by Roku for a second season after becoming the streaming platform’s most-watched unscripted show.

The streaming platform announced that Ross’ series had such an extraordinary debut that, within the first two weeks, it broke viewership records with the channel. The series has become the most-watched unscripted Roku Original for that period in terms of unique viewers, garnering the platform to greenlight another season of “Solo Traveling with Tracee Ellis Ross.”

“’Solo Traveling with Tracee Ellis Ross’ is the #1 unscripted show in Roku history, and now we get to do it all again with a season two! Thank you to Roku for your incredible partnership and care with my show, and to the amazing team that made it all possible,” Ross said in a written statement. “But the biggest thank you goes to everyone who has watched, embraced, and shared my journeys. The way the show is resonating feels truly special—all of the comments, the conversations, the connection… my cup runneth over.”

The former “black-ish” star took off on the road by herself, sparking conversations about traveling alone. During her first season, she took journeys through Morocco, Mexico, and Spain, where she used humor, heart, and honesty on her road trip. Her exploits through the regions have kept fans glued to her escapades. Now, they want more, and The Roku Channel is obliging with the next season on the way, with new destinations being planned.

“Tracee Ellis Ross has set a new gold standard for unscripted storytelling,” said Brian Tannenbaum, Head of Roku Originals. “Her show didn’t just perform—it soared. The response from our streamers has been overwhelming, and we’re deeply grateful to have Tracee returning to guide us through another season filled with heart, purpose, and adventure.”

All episodes will be available for free exclusively on The Roku Channel.

Tracee Ellis Ross, 52, has been solo travelling since her early 20s and now the Black-ish actress is sharing her top tips for those looking to dip their feet into the exciting world of solo travel.

Actress Tracee Ellis Ross, 52, has been solo travelling around the globe since her early 20s, and now she’s sharing pearls of wisdom about the experiences and lessons she’s gained along the way with the world.

In fact, the Girlfriends actress is so passionate about the concept, she’s now the host of her very own travel show — a docuseries titled Solo Travelling with Tracee Ellis Ross, which premiered on The Roku Channel on July 25.

Spread over three episodes, Tracee’s travel docuseries follows the Black-ish actress as she jet sets off to Marbella (Spain), Cancún (Mexico), and Marrakech (Morocco) under the watchful eye of cameras. It comes after a warning to Brit tourists planning all-inclusive holidays to Spain.

Speaking to the BBC, Tracee shared: “I’ve been solo travelling since I was, like, 24 or 25. And I think my first solo trip went so well that it just… stuck.

“Some people solo travel for adventure. Some people solo travel to meet people. Some people solo travel to get away from their families and their lives… I solo travel as a way to be with myself out in the world.”

So what does the actress, producer, and beauty brand CEO do during her travels? “I decompress. [I] let the dust settle… I learn a lot about myself but mostly I gain this emotional muscle of how to hold space for myself even when things don’t go according to plan. I can do uncomfortable things and find joy.”

Appearing on the TODAY Show, Tracee shared some tips for those contemplating dipping their feet into the solo travel game, advising: “If you’ve never solo travelled you might be afraid, the first thing to do is see if you can go to dinner by yourself. Start with a Tuesday night at 6pm when the restaurant opens. If you can do that, move to a Friday or Saturday at 8pm.

“If you can do that and you still feel nervous about checking out a trip, go to someplace that you’ve been with other people — but go by yourself, and then you can start adventuring.”

In a conversation with The Associated Press (AP), Tracee also advised solo travellers to ask themselves: “Are you going on a solo trip because you’re single and want to meet other people? Are you going on a solo trip because your life is overwhelmed with your children, your dogs, your cats, your job, your life, your survival, all the things, and you’re going to have a moment to sort of recharge and get away by yourself? Or are you going for an adventure?”

Upon deciding the kind of experience you’re seeking out of your solo trip — that’s when you can begin carving realistic plans to achieve your travel goals safely.

The Reed Between the Lines star also encourages due diligence and caution. During her TODAY Show appearance, Tracee advised: “This is really important for solo travelling in terms of safety. Some of the things that we have of ourselves that are the most empowered, beautiful, special parts of ourselves and our identity — we need to ask ourselves the question: are those things going to leave me vulnerable out in the world?”

Tracee tells AP: “You might not feel vulnerable, but depending on where you’re going, it might leave you vulnerable. That’s a very specific distinction and something to plan for in order to have a good experience.”

And social media users can’t agree more, with one Redditor commenting on Tracee’s solo travel tips and writing: “Everything she said here is 100% on point. I frequently travel by myself and LOVE traveling by myself. I’m not waiting for my bf or bffs to travel with me if they can’t do it. I have things to see and experience. It was an easy thing for me to begin doing because I have always done things by myself, such as going to the movies or eating out by myself.”

Another user shared: “As someone with anxiety, this is GREAT advice. I’ve been doing more and more stuff solo and it’s absolutely helped my confidence and self-esteem”.

While a third Redditor couldn’t stop gushing over the actress: “Tracee Elis Ross is literally the pied piper of “you don’t need a man or kids to make your life meaningful.” I wish I could personally thank her for being the spokesperson for this movement.”

I moved to Stockholm from London for work a decade ago. As a newcomer with a passion for nature, I remember being eager to soak up the region’s archipelago of 30,000 islands and rocky outposts. But I was overwhelmed by complex public ferry timetables to dozens of places ending in the letter “ö” (the Swedish word for island) and uninterested in pricey cruise boats packed with tour groups.

Then a former flatmate recommended Nynäshamn, which is on the mainland but embodies much of the nature and spirit of Stockholm’s archipelago. It’s home to a tasteful waterfront of colourfully painted bars and restaurants and a harbour packed with boats every summer, from simple dinghies to luxury yachts. Beyond, you can look across a clean, calm stretch of Baltic Sea, towards the island of Bedarön, flanked by pine trees and a smattering of dark red detached houses.
