Benito Skinner, the writer and star of 'Overcompensating,' shares insights into a potential second season, focusing on character growth and the enduring nature of overcompensation. He expresses desire to explore how characters evolve when their comfort zones are challenged, hinting at a continuation of the emotional rollercoaster experienced in college. The series, which follows the journey of a closeted gay college student, left fans eager for a resolution after its cliffhanger finale, suggesting many complexities of identity and personal struggles that will carry over into future episodes.
What's interesting to me about this idea of overcompensation with these characters is that at no point do you stop doing that completely. I'm really inspired by the thought that if anyone has a comfort in it, or a comfort blanket, we take it away.
There will be backslide, and that's what that finale is. This journey of becoming yourself and overcompensating, it's a rollercoaster and at times I think college can be so selfish and you can be like, it's every man for himself.
