Average Joe (2023)

Deon Cole's descent into the high-stakes underworld of Pittsburgh continues as Average Joe maneuvers through the fallout of its explosive freshman debut. Following the 2024 renewal, the production pipeline faced strategic delays to align with BET+’s premium scheduling shifts. Season 2 has officially transitioned from the grueling humidity of its principal photography phase into the sterile, high-precision environment of the editing suite. The narrative stakes have escalated, moving beyond the initial discovery of millions to a complex web of international debt and local betrayal.

Behind the scenes, showrunner Robb Cullen is meticulously refining the pacing to maintain the show’s signature blend of dark comedy and visceral tension. With principal photography concluded in early 2026, the current focus remains on color grading and sound design to capture the gritty, noir-inspired aesthetic. This meticulous post-production phase ensures that the sophomore slump is avoided entirely, positioning the series as a cornerstone of the network’s original programming. Expect a marketing blitz to commence shortly as the final master files are prepared for global distribution.
