Dropout’s ‘Very Important People’ Season 2: Premiere Date & New Guests

Indie streamer Dropout has confirmed the premiere date for the second season of its comedic interview series “Very Important People,” hosted by Vic Michaelis. The show will kick off its new season on November 7.

“Very Important People” features a unique twist on the conventional talk show format. Each guest is given a makeover and must immediately invent a character to portray during the interview. This creative spin has garnered attention and anticipation for the upcoming season.

In Season 2, several new stars will join Michaelis for improvised interviews. The lineup includes John Early from “Search Party,” Kate Berlant of “Don’t Worry Darling,” Danielle Pinnock from “Ghosts,” Chris Redd of “Saturday Night Live,” and Paul F. Tompkins from “Bojack Horseman.”

Dropout, which rebranded from CollegeHumor in 2023, will release the first episode on November 7. This season will feature a total of 16 episodes, continuing the engaging format that fans love.

Returning to Season 2 will be four cast members from the first season, each portraying new characters. These returning guests are Anna Garcia from “Fly Me to the Moon,” Kimia Behpoornia of “Abbott Elementary,” Jacob Wysocki from “Game Changer,” and Zac Oyama from “Dimension 20.”

“Very Important People” adds to the growing catalog of series offered by Dropout. The platform is well-known for series like “Game Changer,” “Make Some Noise,” and “Dimension 20.” The streamer made a significant push this year with its first real For Your Consideration (FYC) Emmy campaign.

The series is executive produced by David Kerns, Sam Reich, and Vic Michaelis. Tamar Levine, who directed all Season 2 episodes, also serves as a co-executive producer alongside Paul Robalino and Kyle Rohrbach. Ebony Elaine Hardin takes the role of supervising producer, while Ariel Zucker serves as producer.
