‘Mo’ First Look Sees Palestinian Refugee Scramble to Escape Mexico as Season 2 Sets January Premiere Date
variety.comSelome Hailu “Mo,” the Netflix comedy created by and starring Mo Amer, is returning for Season 2 on Jan. 30. The series follows Mo Najjar (Amer), an undocumented Palestinian immigrant living in Houston and seeking asylum alongside his mother and brother.
Per the official logline, “Season 2 finds Mo stranded across the border and desperate to get back to Houston before his family’s asylum hearing — but as a stateless refugee without a passport, he’s gonna need all the hustle and charm he can muster.
Little does he know that the journey home is just the start of his troubles, and there’s a new guy in town ready to steal both his longtime love Maria and his falafel taco recipe.” First look photos from the season depict Mo spending time with his family — with one showing him dressed in mariachi attire after mistakenly winding up in Mexico in the Season 1 finale.
Besides Amer, the cast of “Mo” includes Teresa Ruiz, Tobe Nwigwe, Farah Bsieso, Omar Elba and Cherien Dabis. New cast members joining Season 2 include Simon Rex as Guy and Johanna Braddy as Austin, as exclusively reported by Variety.
