Anticipation builds as fans await season two

Fans are buzzing with excitement as they await any news about a possible second season. Benito Skinner, who not only created but also stars in this beloved series, has been dropping some intriguing hints about what might be in store.

Known as much-for his vibrant presence online as his on-screen charm, Skinner has been fueling fans' imaginations with fresh ideas on where he might take these characters. He recently shared some fascinating thoughts on overcompensation, a central theme that threads through each episode.

"You never really stop overcompensating," Skinner mused. "Taking away that comfort blanket from a character and seeing them start fresh—that's what gets me excited. It really hints at where we might be headed."

Diving deeper in season two

Benito Skinner has a knack not just-for humor but also-for diving headfirst-into more serious themes with his unique twist. On what fans can expect, he said, "Even with some truths out, you don't just stop overcompensating—that struggle's still there."

Season one introduced us-to Benny, based largely on Skinner himself, as he navigated college life, figuring out who he was, while trying desperately-to catch Peter's eye, who ruled-the school social scene. The show seamlessly mixed laugh-out-loud moments with ones that tugged at your heart, securing its place as a must-watch in LGBTQ+ storytelling.

With a season finale that left everyone wanting more, there are endless possibilities about where a new season might take Benny and his friends.

The cast's excitement paves-the-way

It seems Skinner isn't-the only one eager-to dive back in. Adam DiMarco, who plays Peter, has dropped hints about some wild and wonderful plans in store. "I've seen what Benny has planned, and it'll blow everyone away. I just wish I could spill more details," he teased.

The show has been a hit with critics and audiences alike, thanks-to its stellar cast, which includes not just Mary Beth Barone but also some fantastic guest spots from Bowen Yang, Matt Rogers, Lukas Gage, and Charli XCX.

Reflecting on how far they've come, Skinner shared, "This summer felt surreal—shooting a dream project with friends as their own stars begin-to rise. It just doesn't get better than that."

What lies ahead

While everyone waits—nervous but hopeful—for confirmation on season two, Skinner's itching-to take-on more. He calls college a "rollercoaster," full-of "drugs, alcohol, and feelings," and can't wait-to explore those themes further.

"That finale really highlighted it," he remarked. "Becoming yourself while constantly overcompensating—it really can feel all-consuming, like it truly can be 'every man-for himself.'"

Season two promises-to bring back everything fans loved: humor, heart, and endless possibilities. Watching Benny and his crew navigate their complex worlds with all-their quirks will be a treat.

Currently streaming on Prime Video, viewers are crossing fingers they won't have-to wait-long before new episodes drop. With Skinner's passion, coupled with such a talented cast and engaging stories, a second season seems like a no-brainer.
