This story about Gloria Calderón Kellett and “One Day at a Time” first appeared in The Race Begins issue of TheWrap Emmy magazine.
Gloria Calderón Kellett did something you don’t see Netflix showrunners do very often. When the second season of “One Day at a Time,” a Latina-centric reboot of the classic Norman Lear sitcom starring Justina Machado and Rita Moreno, came and went without any word from the streamer about a third-season pickup, she called on the show’s fans.
The season had been praised by viewers and critics alike for the way it expanded in scope and added new depth to the Alvarez family, while maintaining the warm and inclusive spirit that made the show a sleeper hit in the first place.
