The wait for more unbelievable stories from the Sunshine State is almost over. HBO has officially announced the return of its late-night comedy “It’s Florida, Man” for a second season, debuting this November. The show brings together a massive lineup of celebrity guest stars to reenact bizarre true-life tales straight from Florida’s headlines.
Season 2 Premiere and Release Schedule
The HBO original series “It’s Florida, Man” will return for its second season on Friday, November 28, 2025. New episodes will air weekly on HBO and stream on HBO Max on the same evening. The show keeps its late-night slot, airing from 10:00 to 10:30 p.m. ET/PT.
The new season will have a total of six episodes, released one per week. The season finale is scheduled for January 2, 2026. This weekly release will take viewers through the holiday season.
Inside the Show’s Unique Format
“It’s Florida, Man” is not a typical scripted comedy. The series operates as an anthology, with each episode focusing on a different unbelievable but true story from Florida. The format combines candid interviews with the real-life Floridians who lived through these wild events and playful reenactments performed by a rotating cast of actors and comedians.
The show is described as a love letter to the state, highlighting not just the weird news stories but also the beaches, small towns, and unique people that make Florida a misunderstood yet magical place. The series looks at the state’s reputation for weirdness with a mix of humor and heart.
All-Star Lineup of Guest Stars
Season 2 features an incredible roster of guest stars appearing in the reenactments. The cast includes well-known names from comedy and film such as Tiffany Haddish, Adam DeVine, Edi Patterson, Haley Joel Osment, Bert Kreischer, Nick Swardson, and Johnny Knoxville.
The lineup also features Taika Waititi, Rita Ora, Shea Whigham, David Koechner, Joel Kim Booster, Chet Hanks, and Swoosie Kurtz, among many others. This ensemble approach ensures each story has a fresh and dynamic feel.

Creative Team and Production
The series is created and executive produced by Mark Herwick for Range Studios and Jeff Tomsic, who also directs. The show is executive produced by Danny McBride and Brandon James for Rough House Pictures, the production company behind HBO hits like “The Righteous Gemstones” and “Eastbound & Down”. This connection explains the show’s signature tone of finding humor in flawed characters and absurd situations.
Director Jeff Tomsic explained the rigorous story selection process, stating:
“The story selection process was quite long because we wanted people and stories that made you first think, ‘This person is insane!’ But by the end, maybe made you think, ‘Maybe I’m the insane one. Maybe this person — this witch, this mermaid or this man who had an arm bitten off— maybe they’re not crazy.”
The show has been noted for its ability to balance comedy with a genuine appreciation for its subjects, avoiding simple mockery of the people involved.
