HOUSTON – Houstonians are pretty good at turning life’s chaos into pure hilarity, but no one does it quite as good as Alief native, Mo Amer.
His award winning, semi-autobiographical Netflix show ‘Mo,’ returns with a new season this Thursday, and it’s packed with more laughs, more heart, and even more hummus.
Season 2 finds Mo stranded across the border and desperate to get back to Houston before his family’s asylum hearing - but as a stateless refugee without a passport, he’s gonna need all the hustle and charm he can muster.
Little does he know that the journey home is just the start of his troubles, and there’s a new guy in town ready to steal both his longtime love Maria and his dream of finally returning to Palestine.
With tons of nods to Houston and its diverse culture, the new season is bigger, bolder, and packed with laughs you didn’t see coming.
And If you’d like to be a part of the Houston community screening of ‘Mo’ season 2 (episodes 1 & 2) at the River Oaks Theatre on Wednesday January 29th, seats are first come first serve - and can be downloaded at theriveroakstheatre.com.
Screenings begin at 12:15 p.m. and run through 10:30 p.m.
Watch as Lauren Kelly catches up with Mo all about what fans can expect from the new episodes.
