Issa Rae’s ‘Rap Sh!t’ Scores CA Tax Incentives To Move West For Anticipated Season 2 Of HBO Max Series

deadline.com:

Just days before Rap Sh!t’s HBO Max debut, the Issa Rae produced comedy looks to be coming back for a second season and heading out to the Golden State.Penned by the Insecure co-creator and starring Aida Osman and KaMillion, Rap Sh!t was awarded over $12.6 million this morning in the latest round of small screen tax credits from the state of California.

Centered on job creation, the award was one of the two relocating series allocations during this award period from the California Film Commission.The incentive is intended for a Season 2 of the Miami-set series about the trials and tribulations of two old but now not-so close friends who band together to form a hip hop group.

With Rap Sh!t to drop on the Warner Bros Discovery streamer on July 21, no formal Season 2 announcement has come from HBO Max yet.

However, the application for the tax credit and the conditional approval of the not insignificant amount of money makes a renewal pretty certain.Having said that, HBO/HBO Max did not respond to request for comment on a second season of Rap Sh!t.Rae EPs Rap Sh!t with Montrel McKay via Rae’s Hoorae Productions., along with Syreenta Singleton, who also serves as showrunner, Dave Becky and Jonathan Berry for 3 Arts Entertainment and Deniese Davis.
