HBO Orders Second Season of ‘Random Acts of Flyness’

HBO has renewed the late-night show Random Acts of Flyness for a second season. The program comes from Terence Nance and kicked off its six-episode season Aug. 3, airing at midnight. Random Acts “explores evergreen cultural idioms such as patriarchy, white supremacy and sensuality from a new, thought-provoking perspective,” in HBO’s words.

“We couldn’t be happier with the response to Random Acts of Flyness–it’s struck such a powerful chord with our viewers,” said Nina Rosenstein, executive VP, HBO programming. “We’re thrilled to bring Terence and his team back for a second season of this provocative, remarkable series.”
