Prime Video announced today that Overcompensating has been renewed for Season 2. The news comes four months after the comedy released its 8-episode freshman run to generally positive reviews.
"I have been so overwhelmed by the insane response to the show, and feel so damn lucky to go back to Yates University with Amazon MGM Studios, A24, Strong Baby and this legendary cast for Season 2!" said creator, writer, star and executive producer Benito Skinner in a statement.
"We look forward to our global Prime Video customers enjoying more of Benito's captivating and bold storytelling in the second season of Overcompensating," said Vernon Sanders, global head of television at Prime Video and Amazon MGM Studios. "Working alongside the talented teams from A24 and Strong Baby has been a joy for everyone involved, and we are excited to see what hilarious moments Benito has planned for season two."
The series follows Benny, a closeted former football player and homecoming king who becomes fast friends with Carmen, a high school outsider on a mission to fit in at all costs. With guidance from Benny's older sister and her campus-legend boyfriend, Benny and Carmen juggle horrible hookups, flavored vodka, and fake IDs as they overcompensate while on the path to finding out who they really are.
