With eight episodes airing weekly until its season two finale on December 21, viewers should not miss it!

Shawna and Mia face an important decision regarding their musical careers as they face a critical juncture, whether to stay true to themselves or conform to industry demands. Furthermore, there may also be personal difficulties for both women to contend with.

While much of the cast remains the same, there have been a few additions. Jacob Romero as Lord AK and Kyle Bary as Courtney Taylor will join Devon Terrell as a producer this season.

Max Network will launch the second season of the popular show The Ex-Knight on November 9 with two episodes to start out and then drop new ones every week until its December 21 finale. Due to ongoing writers and actor strikes, its original release date was moved; November was chosen so Max could promote it before it ends and use this as an opportunity to increase viewership before ending their own strike. If you want to watch it yourself, however, a subscription to Max will be needed for viewing purposes.

Aida Osman and KaMillion are set to reprise their roles along with Jonica Booth, RJ Cyler, and Daniel Augustin in this next arc of their adventure.

Due to an ongoing writers and actors strike, the original launch date of Season Two had to be postponed; however, recently announced, two episodes are slated for release starting November 9 with one new episode to air every week until its season finale on December 21.

This show follows two former high school friends from Miami who reunite to form a rap group, garnering positive reviews for its sharp writing and talented cast. Its first season was an overwhelming critical success with rave reviews for both its writing and cast performances. Aida Osman and KaMillion played Mia and Shawna, two rappers striving to find their voices while dealing with personal struggles. Jonica Booth (Chastity), Devon Terrell (Lamont), and RJ Cyler (Maurice) rounded out the cast. Issa Rae created this series and serves as executive producer alongside showrunner Syreeta Singleton and Montrel McKay for HOORAE, Jonathan Berry and Dave Becky from 3 Arts Entertainment, Jim Kleverweis as well as hip-hop duo Yung Miami & JT of City Girls who serve as co-executive producers; Kevin “Coach K” Lee from Quality Control Films’ Pierre Thomas produces music while Sara Diya Rastogi from HOORAE produces music production.

Release Date

Rap Sh!t, the comedy-drama set to premiere its second season on Thursday, November 9th will see Aida Osman and KaMillion reprise their roles from season one as Miami rap artists striving to gain success in the hip-hop industry. Created by Issa Rae and Syreeta Singleton; the second season is expected with the same cast members.

Mia and Shawna are on the cusp of breaking through in rap music, but face obstacles both within and beyond the industry, including personal struggles. Furthermore, hip-hop culture is notorious for misogyny towards female artists; therefore this first season explored their relationships with their boyfriends as well as any past trauma they might be facing.

Even amid all of their drama, the girls managed to realize their dreams. Yet it remains uncertain whether they can remain true to themselves or must bow to industry demands in future seasons.

Rap Sh t season 2’s release has been postponed from its initial August 10 release date to November 9, a three-month delay, due to ongoing writers and actors strikes.
