Will There Be a Season 2 of Overcompensating on Prime Video?

There’s no official word on a second season, but there are a variety of factors that point to a renewal. The show has been a hit with both fans and critics, currently boasting an impressive 94% Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes. Plus, as I’m writing this, the series is the No. 1 show on Prime Video. Take THAT, Reacher.

No spoilers here, but Overcompensating ends on a cliffhanger, and series creator Benito Skinner recently told Variety that he’s “ready to go” when it comes to a potential sophomore season.

“I think I know what I want to do, and there’s so much more we wanna say,” Skinner said. “There will be backslide, and that’s what that finale is. This journey of becoming yourself and overcompensating, it’s a rollercoaster and at times I think college can be so selfish and you can be like, it’s every man for himself. It’s drugs and alcohol and feelings and we didn’t want to stray from that, and we want to continue it.”

“I know what Benny has planned for Season 2 if we get one, and it’s insane, it’s so good,” star Adam DiMarco teased. “I wish I could tell you. I don’t really know what to say other than it’s just more unhinged and more insane than this season.”

Based on the above information, we believe there’s a very good chance that Overcompensating will be back for a second season. C’mon, Amazon. You can’t flunk a show that earned straight A’s!

All eight episodes of Overcompensating are now streaming on Prime Video.
