Toronto, Canada – January 3, 2020 – Katie Chats Inc. is pleased to announce the launch of the second season of the hit original comedy web series My Roommate’s an Escort  on Facebook, ONNtv, and Seeka TV in the US (see links below).

My Roommate’s an Escort 2 is directed by Katie Uhlmann, and stars creators Katie Uhlmann (Workin’ Moms) and Trish Rainone (V-Wars), and features President of ACTRA National David Sparrow (Serendipity, Fargo).
