The first trailer for Benito Skinner’s upcoming queer comedy Overcompensating is here. Created, written, and executive produced by the beloved social media personality, the upcoming series follows a closeted college freshman, and his hilarious and heartwarming journey to self-acceptance. Overcompensating starts streaming on Thursday, May 15 on Prime Video.
The official synopsis reads: “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 Grace (Mary Beth Barone) and her campus-legend boyfriend Peter (Adam DiMarco), Benny and Carmen juggle horrible hookups, flavoured 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.”
