HBO Max has renewed the Max Original comedy series THAT DAMN MICHAEL CHE for a second season. The series debuted in May of this year and stars Michael Che (“Saturday Night Live”). Stream all six episodes of That Damn Michael Che on HBO Max.
Sarah Aubrey, Head of Original Content, HBO Max: “Michael’s comedic style is truly unique and his ability to convey provocative subject matter through a comedic lens is the reason why season one of THAT DAMN MICHAEL CHE was such a success. We look forward to working with him again on a second season.”
Season one of this groundbreaking new original comedy series uses sketches and vignettes to illustrate what it feels like to experience various everyday situations including racial profiling, unemployment, falling in love and more, from Michael’s perspective.
Decider calls the series “thought-provoking” while The Daily Beast notes, “The comedy and the intimacy of Che’s personal experience creates a show that feels funnier, more resonant, and more current.”
THAT DAMN MICHAEL CHE is produced by Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, Broadway Video and Irony Point with Michael Che, Lorne Michaels, Erin Doyle serving as executive producers.
On July 14, 2020, HBO Max gave the then-untitled project a series order consisting of 6 half-hour episodes. The series is created by Michael Che, who also executive produces alongside Lorne Michaels and Erin Doyle.
Che, speaking about the project, said:
I’m really excited to be working on this show with HBO Max. It’s a project I’ve been thinking about for a while and we have a lot of sketches we want to shoot so please wear your masks so that we can go into production.
