CULVER CITY, California - April 7, 2025 - Today, Prime Video released the key art for Overcompensating, created by and starring Benito Skinner. The comedy series, produced by A24, Strong Baby and Amazon MGM Studios, will premiere all eight episodes on May 15, 2025 on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide.

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.
