Benito Skinner revealed that the upcoming sophomore season of his Prime Video college series features lots of nudity and a hookup scene that fans ask about every day, deadline.com reported.
Significant changes have taken place for Benito Skinner in the eighteen months since the premiere of the first season of his Prime Video comedy series, Overcompensating.
- Benito Skinner stated he wears about 12 jockstraps and appears half-naked throughout the upcoming sophomore episodes.
- Character Benny Skinner hooks up with Miles, played by Rish Shah, addressing a question fans ask about every day.
- Production on the second installment was much more fluid and far less stressed compared to the freshman run.
Skinner is blond now, a change he noted might be permanent or semipermanent. “It’s how I see myself—as a blond,” he told vanityfair.com over Zoom. “So we’re going to keep going with it for a sec.” Skinner also stars as his online alter ego Benny Drama, guiding the semi-autobiographical college series.
The first season followed Benny, a closeted former high school football player dealing with Georgetown university chaos and bonding with Carmen, played by Wally Baram. That initial outing earned a 93% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes and established Skinner as a fresh creative voice. Prime Video renewed the series for a second season last September.
George becomes a much bigger character in the sophomore run, according to deadline.com. Holmes returns as a series regular playing the hilarious party girl Hailee. New guest appearances feature Tom Francis as Declan Bishop, Aisha Dee as Naomi, and AnnaSophia Robb as Chels.
Several recurring cast members reprise their roles from the first season. Connie Britton, Kyle MacLachlan, Lukas Gage, Andrea Martin, Julia Shiplett, Nell Verlaque, Danielle Perez, Yasmine Sahid, Boman Martinez-Reid, Tomaso Sanelli, and Austin Lindsay make up the returning ensemble members.

Skinner shared that making the second installment of the series was “way more fluid, way less stressed.” He told co-star Owen Thiele on his In Your Dreams podcast that he cannot hold things back anymore because the premiere is approaching. Fans eager to see the next chapter of college life will soon watch the character dynamics unfold on screen.
