“Overcompensating” is back for the spring semester with Season 2 hitting Prime Video on Feb. 17.
Created, written and executive produced by Benito Skinner, the 2010’s college dramedy follows Skinner playing himself as
a closeted former football player and homecoming king, navigating college and his identity with his best friend Carmen (Wally Baram), and the guidance of his older sister (Mary Beth Barone).
Per the logline, “Season 2 finds Benny and his friends in their second semester, juggling new lovers, cringey encounters, sexual awakenings, and riskiest of all: collegiate sports. Deeply funny and personal, the show explores the lengths to which we all overcompensate while on the path to finding out who we really are.”
Skinner, Baram and Barone are joined by returning cast members Adam DiMarco, Rish Shah, Holmes, Owen Thiele, Kyle MacLachlan, Connie Britton, Lukas Gage and Nell Verlaque.
The series is produced by A24, Strong Baby and Amazon MGM Studios. Scott King also serves as showrunner and executive producer. Additional executive producers include A24; Jonah Hill, Matt Dines and Ali Goodwin for Strong Baby; and returning executive producer Charli XCX.
