Premiering all eight episodes on 15 May, Benito Skinner’s coming-of-age comedy series, Overcompensating, has received a brand-new trailer ahead of release. In addition, Prime Video has announced a slew of unannounced guest stars who will appear in the series.
Per Prime Video, “Overcompensating is a college-set ensemble comedy about the wild, chaotic journey of Benny (Skinner), a closeted former football player and homecoming king, as he becomes fast friends with Carmen (Wally Baram), a high school outsider on a mission to fit in at all costs.
“With guidance from Benny’s older sister (Mary Beth Barone) and her campus-legend boyfriend (Adam DiMarco), Benny and Carmen juggle horrible hookups, flavored vodka, and fake IDs. Deeply funny and personal, the show explores the lengths to which we all overcompensate while on the path to finding out who we really are.”
