Show Notes

In a blow to Chicago comedy fans, HBO Max announced Tuesday that it would not pick up “South Side” for a fourth season. The show follows various characters — from workers at a rent-to-own store to wannabe rappers to cops — hustling on Chicago’s South Side. As we grieve the loss of this TV gem, we’re revisiting a conversation host Jacoby Cochran had with creators Diallo Riddle (who plays Allen Gayle), Sultan Salahuddin (Simon James), and Bashir Salahuddin (Officer Sandy Goodnight). They tell us how the show stays true to Chicago.

This conversation was originally published Dec. 5, 2022.
