PARAMOUNT+ DEBUTS TRAILER FOR THE EXPLOSIVE AND WITTY SECOND SEASON OF "AVERAGE JOE," PREMIERING GLOBALLY AUGUST 19
What starts as a search for answers becomes a fight for survival.
New country. New enemies. Same Joe.
August 6, 2026 - Today, Paramount+ debuted the official trailer for season two of the comedy thriller Average Joe, starring Emmy Award-nominated writer, actor, and comedian Deon Cole. The eight-episode second season will premiere globally on Paramount+ on Wednesday, August 19, with two episodes at launch, followed by weekly episodes every Wednesday.
After the explosive events of season one, Joe Washington is trying to move forward when a mysterious threat targeting his family sends him and the gang to Cape Town, South Africa. What begins as a search for answers quickly spirals into a dangerous adventure involving international criminals, powerful enemies and long-buried secrets. As Joe, Leon, Cathy and Touch find themselves hunted across the city, they'll dodge assassins, outrun bounty hunters and attempt to survive a series of increasingly impossible situations that only seem to get more chaotic by the day. Because for Joe Washington, nothing is ever average.
The cast returning alongside Cole includes Malcolm Barrett, Cynthia Kaye McWilliams and Michael Trucco. Joining for season two are Katlego Lebogang, as Imani, a young woman whose connection to Joe's family changes everything he thought he knew about his past, and Hakeem Kae-Kazim as Sipho, a powerful Cape Town crime boss whose pursuit of Joe and the gang threatens to upend their lives.
Average Joe is executive produced by Robb Cullen, Deon Cole, Eric Dean Seaton, Tyrone Finch and Rose Catherine Pinkney as well as Deb Evans for DAE Light Media and McG, Corey Marsh and Mary Viola for Wonderland Sound and Vision. The series is produced by Wonderland Sound and Vision and DAE Light Media in association with BET Studios.
