Average Joe Renewed for Season 2
BET+ is signing up for more Average Joe.
The streamer has renewed the dramedy starring Deon Cole for Season 2, TVLine has learned.
Inspired by creator Robb Cullen’s life, the story follows Joe, a blue-collar plumber who discovers that his recently deceased father lived a double life working for the Russian mob and stole millions of dollars from them. After being attacked by these dangerous associates looking for the lost funds, he’s forced to kill in self-defense. What follows is a race against time to uncover the whole truth about his dad and find the missing money before the others come for him.
Season 1 ended on a major cliffhanger that saw Joe receive an unannounced visitor. After opening the door, he cried out, “Dear God, no!” and the screen cut to black before we could see what happened next. (Read our full finale recap here.)
Michael Trucco, who plays Touch in the series, previously spoke on the possibility of the show’s Season 2 renewal.
“There are musings…,” he told TVLine. “Everybody involved would love nothing more — the creators, the cast, we all still hold a torch for it. [That’s] a show I wish more people had seen, that we could get more eyeballs on, and I think something’s in the works that might facilitate that. I can’t say with certainty, but the enthusiasm and the desire [for a Season 2] is there, yes.
Season 1, which last streamed in August 2023, will head to Netflix this summer, according to Deadline (who was first to report the story.)
Excited about more episodes of Average Joe? Sound off below!
I hope this show gets the Netflix bump. It’s great. The whole cast is good but I really couldn’t believe how good Deon Cole was in a dramatic role.
I was just going to write the same thing. This show was criminally underrated and underviewed. I really do think that the netflix eyes will get this show some deserved recognition.
I watched the first couple episodes that ran on regular BET. Really enjoyed it. Loved the actors. Was disappointed when I saw it was continuing on BET+. Nope, not doing another streaming service. Maybe it will come out on BET or something else later.
Just saw it’s coming to Netflix soon. 👍🏻
I love that show & have been scrolling to find any indication that a season 2 was coming. YES!!!
