Monday's announcement did not disclose details about the content of season two or its release date.
My Unorthodox Life follows Julia Haart, who left the Haredi community she grew up in Monsey, New York to become CEO of the Elite World Group agency, and her four children as they grapple with making the transition into a world where they are free to pursue varying levels of Jewish practice, as well as how they make their way in secular New York City society.
The show became an instant hit when it premiered in July, and is currently streaming on Netflix.
Season 2 will feature more "fashion, family, female empowerment, faith, fabulousness, and of course, Haart," according to the streaming giant.
The show faced backlash from the Orthodox community, with many saying it was portraying a radicalized version of the Haredi way of life, but Haart said that her "mission is solely to help women not feel the need to ask a man for permission."
"Before you judge the show, maybe you might want to watch the show?" she told JTA in July. "Because they had the word 'unorthodox' in it, people have made a thousand assumptions without actually taking the time to listen to what I actually have to say."
In an interview with Variety following the show's debut, she said, "My only issue is with fundamentalism. I want to make it clear: I love being a Jew. This has nothing to do with Judaism and this has nothing with religion. I have learned very many beautiful things from my community and my religion, and I think that all religion is beautiful. I just don't think it's beautiful when you say men are better and women are worse.
"This can apply in any country, any government, any institution that puts women down. I hope that people from different countries and walks of life can watch this and connect to at in their own way."
