South Side Season 2: Release Date, Plot and Updates!

Have you ever wondered what makes a perfect TV show? I would say the perfect blend of direction, cinematography, script, music, post-production, and many more. Comedy Central’s South Side has the same rare mixture of all the aspects of a perfect piece of art. With foot-tapping funny raps and music along with loads of emotions and comedy, the American TV comic is up for the second season. After a successful first last year, Comedy Central gave a thumbs up to the second one in August 2019. But unfortunately, there hasn’t been any official news regarding the release due to the pandemic. So fans, you need to wait for a while.

South Side is created by Bashir Salahuddin and Diallo Riddle and is filmed and set in the Englewood area of Chicago. The show premiered on Comedy Central on July 24, 2019. The 10 episodes show tells the story of two friends, Simon and Kareem, who just graduated from community college and are ready to take over the world. But until they do, they’re stuck working at Rent-T-Own. The show gives an insight into the lives of the people living in the Englewood area. These two entrepreneurs try everything on the list, from the black market to street corner popcorn, to make it big in the business world. Their friendly banter what makes the show hilarious.

One fan says,

“Rather than turn a blind eye to poverty and violence, “South Side” follows the tradition of history’s great humorists to find laughter amid the chaos.”

South Side stars Sultan Salahuddin as Simon, Kareme Young as Kareem, Chandra Russell as Sergeant Turner, Bashir Salahuddin as Officer Goodnight, Lil Rel Howery as Bishop, Zuri Salahuddin as Stacy, Quincy Young as Quincy and Diallo Riddle as Allen.

IndieWire said,

“The creators and cast know this world intimately, and instead of turning their camera on the usual crime and poverty, they find the humor that exists within the mayhem”.
