Vgly's Comeback: Mexican Rap Comedy Shines on HBO Max

This October, HBO Max is set to debut an eclectic lineup of new and returning shows, including an underrated Mexican comedy series that deserves more attention.

Vgly, a unique blend of humor, drama, music, and cultural specificity, is gearing up for its highly anticipated second season. The show follows the story of a young rapper and singer, self-styled as "Vgly" (Benny Emmanuel), as he assembles an entourage from the streets of Mexico City and navigates the challenges of making it in the music industry.

Expertly crafted, Vgly has been described as a mix of Atlanta, Reservation Dogs, and Dave, with a distinct style all its own. The series, which premiered its first season last year, has been praised for its ability to seamlessly blend different genres and offer a fresh perspective on the struggles and aspirations of a young artist.

Alongside Vgly's return, HBO Max is also set to debut a new comedy series from the creators of I Think You Should Leave and Detroiters. Titled "William Ronald Trosper," the show follows a businessman who believes he has uncovered a criminal conspiracy at his company, or perhaps he's just imagining it.

For horror fans, the highly anticipated It prequel series, exploring the origins of the iconic Pennywise the Dancing Clown, is also scheduled to premiere on the platform this October. The story follows a family as they move to the town of Derry, Maine, just as local children begin to vanish.
