Mama June: Road to Redemption will be the follow up to 2020’s Mama June: Family Crisis which chronicled her $2.5K a day drug habit, arrest and the start of her recovery.
A year ago, June skipped out of a drug treatment facility after getting arrested for using crack cocaine but subsequently completed a program.
Her downward spiral began in 2019 alongside her boyfriend Geno Doak, who June claims is also now sober.
In March of that year, the couple were arrested together for felony drug possession in Alabama.

Police were called to a gas station over an apparent domestic dispute between the two, but when officers searched the car they allegedly found crack cocaine and drug paraphernalia. Doak also faces a domestic violence charge.
The court case has been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
