South Side Renewed for Second Season at Comedy Central

Today, both A Black Lady Sketch Show and South Side got renewed for a second season, which gives us a lot of hope for scripted comedy on TV and it genuinely looking more diverse, both in appearance and style.

Also, congrats to Diallo Riddle and Bashir Salahuddin for creating South Side and bringing something delightfully offbeat, distinct, and probably what Comedy Central needed right about now.

Comedy Central was nice enough to put the series premiere of their latest scripted series South Side from Diallo Riddle, Bashir Salahuddin, Sultan Salahuddin.

This inaugural episode is very fun intro into a universe that’s absurd and silly and, at the same time, holds tight to what life in the South Side of Chicago might be like and how people, no matter where they come from, are just doing the best they can (even if that’s comedically ridiculous).

See for yourself in the premiere episode of South Side here, then look for new episodes every Wed. at 10:30PM on Comedy Central.

By the way, Riddle and Salahuddin are definitely on the rise with this show and their other, high concept sketch show Sherman’s Showcase over at IFC.

If you’re digging it, make a note, again, for South Side’s premiere date, July 24th.
