Amazon Studios is developing Overcompensating, an ensemble comedy from comedian, actor and social media star Benito Skinner, English singer-songwriter Charli XCX, Jonah Hill’s Strong Baby productions and A24.
Created by Skinner inspired by his life, Overcompensating follows Idaho football player Benny as he struggles to accept his sexuality in college, finding himself overcompensating as he tries to convince himself of something he’s not. Poignant, personal, and deeply funny, this ensemble comedy explores the experiences we all have in figuring ourselves out – the various personalities we try out along the way, and the journey to find the people who accept us just as we are.
Skinner executive produces with Charli XCX, who also may write music for the show we hear, and Jonah Hill’s Strong Baby productions. A24 is the studio.
Comedian and actor Skinner recurred as Jack Cole Jordan on Queer As Folk and also guest-starred on Search Party and Showtime’s Ziwe. Known for his online persona Benny Drama, Skinner performs celebrity impressions, skits and original characters on platforms such as Instagram, YouTube and TikTok. Coming up he’ll be seen in Chelsea Peretti’s comedy First Time Female Director. Skinner is repped by WME.
Charli XCX has performed twice as musical guest on Saturday Night Live and most recently released her fifth studio album titled Crash in March. She has toured alongside artists including Taylor Swift, Ellie Goulding, Marina and the Diamonds, with whom she has also collaborated, Paramore, Bleachers, Azealia Banks and Coldplay, among others.

Aussie actor Hugh Jackman was best known for musicals like “Oklahoma” when the Wolverine role was offered to him in the early 2000s. At the time, director Bryan Singer and 20th Century Fox had lost their original choice, Dougray Scott, to Tom Cruise’s “Mission: Impossible II.” After “X-Men” became a huge hit, Jackman was briefly considered for the role of James Bond in what would end up being 2006’s “Casino Royale.” He turned down the part paving the way for Daniel Craig to ultimately take the reins from Pierce Brosnan.

While we know Jonah Hill for his acting, his comedies, and his dramatic work—he already has two Oscar nominations under his belt for “The Wolf Of Wall Street” and “Moneyball”—in recent years, Hill has pivoted to feature filmmaking and has really flexed his directing skills.

You might ask, how’s Jonah Hill doing these days? Because truthfully, if you lean in and think about it, we haven’t seen the actor on screen all that much since he seemingly pivoted to directing with his promising debut, “mid90s,” in 2018. In the four years since, we’ve seen him all of twice, smaller supporting roles in “The Beach Bum” and “Don’t Look Up,” a quick appearance on “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” and some small animated voice work.
