The second season of the television comedy drama series Mom ran on CBS in the United States from October 30, 2014, to April 30, 2015. The season was produced by Chuck Lorre Productions and Warner Bros. Television, with series creators Chuck Lorre, Eddie Gorodetsky and Gemma Baker serving as executive producers.
The series follows Christy Plunkett (Anna Faris), a single mother who, after dealing with her battle with alcoholism and drug addiction, decides to restart her life in Napa, California's wine country, working as a waitress at the restaurant Rustic Fig and attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. She lives with her mother, Bonnie Plunkett (Allison Janney), who is also a recovering drug and alcohol addict, as well as her teenage daughter, Violet (Sadie Calvano), who was born when Christy was 17. Christy also has a younger son, Roscoe (Blake Garrett Rosenthal), by her deadbeat ex-husband, Baxter (Matt Jones). Other prominent characters in the series include the manager of Rustic Fig, Gabriel (Nate Corddry) and the head chef, Rudy (French Stewart). Mimi Kennedy, who plays the wise Marjorie, Christy and Bonnie's friend and co-Alcoholics Anonymous member, was upgraded to series regular status for this season. The episodes are usually titled with two odd topics mentioned in that episode.
Season two of Mom initially aired on Thursdays in the United States at 8:30 p.m. after The Big Bang Theory, but it has aired in other time slots on the same night at various points of the season.
