Joe Washington is back, and somehow his life has gotten even more complicated. Today, Paramount+ revealed the premiere date for and a first look at season two of the critically acclaimed action-comedy thriller Average Joe.

THE PREMISE
After the explosive events of season one, Joe Washington is trying to move forward when a mysterious threat targeting his family sends him and the gang to Cape Town, South Africa. What begins as a search for answers quickly spirals into a dangerous adventure involving international criminals, powerful enemies, and long-buried secrets. As Joe, Leon, Cathy, and Touch find themselves hunted across the city, they’ll dodge assassins, outrun bounty hunters, and attempt to survive a series of increasingly impossible situations that only seem to get more chaotic by the day. Because for Joe Washington, nothing is ever average.
The cast returning alongside Cole includes Malcolm Barrett, Cynthia Kaye McWilliams, and Michael Trucco. Joining for season two are Katlego Lebogang as Imani, a young woman whose connection to Joe’s family changes everything he thought he knew about his past. In addition, Hakeem Kae-Kazim joins as Sipho. He plays a powerful Cape Town crime boss whose pursuit of Joe and the gang threatens to upend their lives.
