HBO Max comes back with Season 2 of 'South Side', with the return of Simon James (played by Sultan Salahuddin) and Kareme Odom (played by Kareme Young) who are fresh graduates from the local community college, ready for the real world! But it's safe to say that their expectations come nowhere near reality. The two friends have started looking up business ideas and the success that comes with it, while working at a rented shop.

On Comedy Central, the show premiered in July of 2019, after which the series was renewed for a second season of 10 episodes. Season 2 of 'South Side' will be airing HBO Max in November 2021, making the show a Max Original. Created by Sultan, Bashir Salahuddin, and Diallo Riddle, 'South Side' Season 2 is shot in the Englewood neighborhood of Chicago.
