In a recent interview with Variety, the head of television at Amazon MGM Studios, Vernon Sanders, hinted at the possibility of a second season for Benito Skinner's show, Overcompensating, and shared that a writers' room has begun. During his conversation, he spoke about the recent success that Amazon has seen with their most recent releases, like The Summer I Turned Pretty, We Were Liars, Motorheads, and Overcompensating.When asked about the possibility of second-season orders for the shows that did well, Sanders told the publication that he and his team at Amazon were "excited by what weve seen with Motorheads and Overcompensating," sharing that both shows have very passionate fanbases and high completion rates. These successful shows are "working on Season two writers rooms, and well hope to have renewal announcements soon on some, if not all, of those shows."Fans of Overcompensating have been waiting for any update they could get their hands on since the release of the first season. The show found its audience, especially among social media users who posted about the show, shared clips of their favorite moments, and got excited about their favorite influencer making a cameo. During the press tour of the show, Skinner has shared multiple times that he is ready to start work on season two and has several ideas for a second season. "I think I know what I want to do and theres so much more we wanna say," Skinner told Variety in May. "There will be backslide, and thats what that finale is. This journey of becoming yourself and overcompensating, its a rollercoaster and at times I think college can be so selfish and you can be like, its every man for himself. Its drugs and alcohol and feelings and we didnt want to stray from that, and we want to continue it.
