HBO has announced that the late-night talk show series Pause with Sam Jay has been renewed for a second season.
Season one debuted in May of this year and has quickly become a favorite among critics and fans.
“I can’t express how excited I am to bring you all a second season of Pause,” said Sam Jay – who co-created the show with Prentice Penny – in a statement. “We learned so much during the first season and hope to take those lessons into this new chapter and deliver something even better. There are so many topics to explore and so much growth to be had. I can’t wait to dig in with the team and get to work! See y’all mofos soon!”
Nina Rosenstein, executive vice president, HBO Programming added, “Pause is such a completely unique format, it’s the perfect platform for Sam’s keen social observations, her unfiltered, comedic point of view, and most of all, her insightful conversation and openness to different perspectives. We’re so happy to work with Sam and Prentice on a second season.”
Pause with Sam Jay delivers a new take on late shows by plunging into cultural issues with candid conversations along with interviews, sketches and animation. Season one episodes are currently available to stream on HBO Max.
