HBO Max Renews Comedy Series SOUTH SIDE For A Third Season

Produced By MTV Entertainment Studios, First Two Seasons Are Currently Available To Stream On HBO Max

· HBO Max has renewed SOUTH SIDE for a third season. The second season of the beloved, critically acclaimed comedy series premiered as a Max Original in November 2021.

· Logline: SOUTH SIDE follows two friends 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. Shot on location in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, the show offers an authentic look into what life on the South Side is all about.

· Suzanna Makkos, EVP, Original Comedy and Adult Animation, HBO Max quote: "To be able to bring this world and these characters to life has been a true joy. A lot of people say that South Side is about the American dream, and the stories that Bashir and Diallo have crafted completely embody that dream with both razor-sharp humor and refreshing cultural commentary. I think I speak for everyone here at HBO Max when I say, 'it's time for the percolator.'"

· Bashir Salahuddin and Diallo Riddle quote: "We are blessed. We get to make a show starring our family and friends about a city we love. South Side finds joy in the extraordinary adventures of ordinary folks. We challenge ourselves to make every episode a unique and unexpected journey. We have no clue where our characters will find themselves in season three and we couldn't be more excited to find out."
