Amazon Studios is developing a comedy series titled “Overcompensating” from comedian Benito Skinner (known by his social media persona Benny Drama), singer-songwriter Charli XCX (who will executive produce and spearhead music), Jonah Hill’s Strong Baby production company and A24.
Loosely based on creator and executive producer Skinner’s real life, “Overcompensating” follows Idaho football player Benny as he struggles to accept his sexuality in college, finding himself overcompensating as he tries to convince himself of something he’s not. Billed as an ensemble comedy, the poignant, personal and humorous tale explores shared experiences in navigating identity, the various personalities we try out along the way and the journey to find the people who accept us just as we are.
