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!

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.
