The series poses questions such as what code-switching is and why it has become a daily ritual for so many people in Louisiana, and what a New Orleans second line is and which second line rituals are deeply embedded in New Orleans culture.

Narrated by Tarriona 'Tank' Ball, Ritual Season 2 moves through the streets, kitchens, bodies, and ancestral spaces of the American South, revealing how everyday practices carry deeper meaning. From New Orleans second lines to Sunday meals, from hair preparation to ancestral reconnection, each episode examines ritual as a living language—one that expresses love, resilience, memory, and survival.
