Prime Video Renews YA Series, “We Are Pat” Explores SNL Character Legacy

Streaming and entertainment news includes both new renewals and a deeper look at comedy history.

Prime Video has officially renewed a popular young adult series for a second season. The show will continue adapting the bestselling Barry’s Bay novels by author Carly Fortune, extending the romantic drama storyline that has gained a strong streaming audience.

In documentary news, We Are Pat is generating discussion for its exploration of the iconic Saturday Night Live character created by Julia Sweeney. The film reflects on how the character “Pat” has evolved in cultural interpretation over the past three decades.

The documentary examines the complex legacy of the character, who was originally presented as deliberately ambiguous in terms of gender identity and has since been reinterpreted through modern conversations about representation in comedy.

Filmmakers say the project aims to revisit how comedy, identity, and social context intersect, with screenings scheduled across the United States and a digital release also available.
