Saweetie Cast in Season 2 of Netflix Teen Psychological Drama ‘Bet,’ Production Set to Start in Toronto

Saweetie has joined the cast of Netflix’s teen psychological drama series ‘Bet’ for its second season, Deadline reported in an exclusive report on June 18. The casting adds a music artist to the ensemble as the series moves into a new production phase, with principal work beginning in Toronto.

The series stars Miku Martineau as it follows students at a boarding school for the global elite, where the school’s closed environment intersects with a covert economy. Deadline’s description of the show says underground gambling plays a central role in the students’ lives, driving tensions and consequences in a psychologically focused drama.

Deadline reported that Saweetie, identified in the article as an “Icy Grl” star, will appear as part of the Season 2 lineup alongside Martineau. The report did not detail the character name or storyline specifics in its summary, and no additional casting details were included in the material provided.

Season 2 is described as beginning production in Toronto. For the region, the update points to additional screen-time work associated with a major streaming platform, with cast and crew commitments tied to the start of filming rather than a later release schedule.

From a production standpoint, Netflix’s addition of a widely recognized pop figure can also affect promotional planning, since casting announcements typically shape marketing timelines for streaming titles. However, Deadline’s report, as supplied here, focused on the fact of the casting and the location and timing of production rather than on release dates or marketing strategy.

The series, according to the provided description, centers on the boarding school’s internal dynamics and the role of underground gambling among students. That framing suggests the second season will continue to build on the premise established in Season 1, using a high-pressure setting to drive character outcomes while keeping the show’s focus on psychological drama rather than broad procedural elements.

Netflix and ‘Bet’ production announcements often involve multiple stages, including casting finalizations, location approvals, and scheduling for filming blocks. As of this report, the confirmed items in the provided record are Saweetie’s addition to Season 2, Martineau’s role as the series star, and Toronto as the production base where Season 2 is set to start.
