Start date for Rap Sh!t season two postponed by Max

Rap Sh!t fans will have to wait a little longer for season two of Issa Rae's hit comedy series. Max has moved the debut from the originally planned date of Thursday August 10 to Thursday November 9. It is hoped that the strikes of both actors and writers will be over by then and that actors and creators will be able to celebrate the new season.



Season two will start with two episodes, followed by one episode every week until the season finale on December 21.

Rap Sh!t follows two estranged Miami high school friends, Shawna (Aida Osman) and Mia (KaMillion), who reunite to form a rap group. On their rise to fame, Shawna and Mia come to a pivotal point in their rap careers when they must decide whether to stay true to themselves or adapt to the demands of the music industry.

The cast also includes Jonica Booth as Chastity, RJ Cyler as Lamont and Daniel Augustin as Maurice.

Rap Sh!t was created and produced by Rae for Hoorae. Syreeta Singleton is the showrunner and produces alongside Dave Becky and Jonathan Berry for 3 Arts Entertainment and Jim Kleverweis.

City Girls' hip-hop duo Yung Miami and JT serve as co-executive producers, along with Kevin "Coach K" Lee and Pierre "P" Thomas for Quality Control Films, and Sara Rastogi and Jax Clark for Hoorae Rae's Audio Everywhere Company, Raedio, provides the music supervision for the series.
