If you have a question about this talk, please contact Matthew Grayling.

I will present the second data release of the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) Cosmology Science Working Group: the largest Type Ia Supernovae release to date (by far!). It contains more than 3000+ good light curves of Type Ia Supernovae. After a brief introduction of the ZTF survey, I will present the characteristics of this unique dataset and show key results of recently submitted papers as part of the ZTF SN Ia DR2 Astronomy and Astrophysics special issue. I will then present our working program to derive brand new cosmological parameter constraints from Type Ia Supernova distances and the perspective for the next ZTF Cosmology releases.
