More Mo
Houston comedian's Netflix series drops season 2 release date

Mo Amer returns to Netflix this month.
Houston-bred, Palestinian American comedian Mo Amer is finally returning to Netflix, as the second and final season of his acclaimed, award-winning dramedy Mo will hit the streamer in a few weeks.
A trailer for the new season dropped yesterday, showing Amer’s Palestinian-refugee protagonist Mo Najjar stuck across the border and fighting to get back to Houston before his family’s asylum hearing. “Maybe just come to terms with the fact you’re Mexican now,” Matt Rife’s embassy flak tells him in the trailer.
Rife isn’t the only familiar face you’ll see in the upcoming season. Rapper/fellow on-the-rise Houstonian Tobe Nwigwe returns as Mo’s best buddy. We’ll also get guest appearances by Houston rapper Slim Thug, veteran YouTuber Liza Koshy, and Red Rocket star Simon Rex, who plays the new love of Najjar’s on-again, off-again girlfriend (Teresa Ruiz).
Produced by indie powerhouse A24, Mo received raves in its first season, as well as a Peabody Award for Entertainment and a Gotham Award for Breakthrough Series — Short Form. Amer was also nominated for an Independent Spirit Award, for Best Lead Performance in a New Scripted Series.
All eight episodes of season two will premiere on Thursday, January 30, almost two years to the day when Netflix announced the show’s renewal.
