Paramount+ has today announced the premiere date for the upcoming second season of its original dramedy series Average Joe. The first season was originally released on BET+ and is now available to stream on Paramount+.
The eight-episode second season will premiere on Wednesday, August 19 with its first two episodes. New episodes will then be released weekly every Wednesday until the season finale on September 30.
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 of Joe Washington, nothing is ever average.
The returning cast includes Deon Cole, Malcolm Barrett, Cynthia Kaye McWilliams and Michael Trucco. They will be joined this season by Katlego Lebogang and Hakeem Kae-Kazim.
Robb Cullen created the series. He executive produces with Cole, Eric Dean Seaton, Tyrone Finch, Rose Catherine Pinkney, Deb Evans, McG, Corey Marsh and Mary Viola. BET Studios, DAE Light Media and Wonderland Sound & Vision produce.
