SPOILER ALERT: This article contains descriptions of scenes from Prime Video’s new comedy series “Overcompensating.”

Benito Skinner is so out and proud, he created a television show about it.

Skinner (known as Benny Drama to his millions of social media followers) stars in his semi-autobiographical Prime Video comedy series “Overcompensating” as Benny, a former high school football star who begins exploring coming out of the closet during his freshman year of college. The eight-episode premiere season follows Benny as he navigates frat life, same-sex crushes and trying to live up to his family and friends’ high and very hetero expectations.

“Amazon let me make the gayest show ever,” Skinner says on the latest episode of the “Just for Variety” podcast.

There are many examples why the show could live up to such a high queer standard, but one can just take Benny’s wardrobe to be convinced.

“It would be a loincloth one day, and then the next day it was a harness, and I was like, ‘This really is the show!’” Skinner says, later revealing that he has the loincloth hanging in a closet at home.

“Overcompensating” has heart, but also features plenty of raunch. In one scene, Benny takes a used condom — not his, by the way — out of his dorm room garbage can. He’s about to lick it before his roommate walks through the door. “That was one scene where I was like, ‘Is this a little insane that I’m saying this?’ But you know what? I have to be real, I did it,’” Skinner says. “I’m just like, ‘Let’s go there!’”

“And the whole [writers] room luckily was like, ‘Fuck yeah,’” he continues. “I remember Jordan Mendoza, who wrote that episode with us, was like, ’Baby, this is your show. This is your story. Let’s fucking go!’”

The cast also includes Wally Baram as Benny’s new college bestie Carmen and Mary Beth Barone as his “Mean Girls”-esque sister Grace. “The White Lotus” star Adam DiMarco is Grace’s frat boy beau Peter. Rish Shah plays Benny’s crush, Miles. Rounding out the cast are Connie Britton, Kyle MacLachlan and Jame Van Der Beek.

Charli xcx not only plays herself in an episode, but she serves as the series’ music producer.

“I couldn’t stress enough that it really pays to believe in people and to go with your gut and go with what you love,” Skinner says. “I didn’t choose her because I knew ‘Brat’ would exist, I chose her because she’s my favorite musician and is my idol, and has made my favorite music for 10-plus years. And I feel like that is what guided me in this and I’m so lucky that she was like, ‘Fine, gay boy, I’ll do your show.’”

Megan Fox also plays herself — on a poster that comes to life. “She said yes and I don’t know how, because describing this to someone, you can imagine what the note was like. I was like, ‘Well, OK, so you’re a poster, but you come alive and you’re actually kind of a guide of sorts, and you’re helping me before the scary time of my life,’” Skinner recalls. “She shot it in her house in Malibu. What you see are most of her first takes, she’s such a professional, and was so funny. Her saying ‘dick and ass,’ I mean…”

And the guest stars keep coming. Matt Rogers and Bowen Yang play a couple who Benny meets on a hook-up app. I’m not going to reveal too much about their scene because you have to see it to truly appreciate the laugh-out-loud absurdity of it.

Skinner says in keeping with the show’s college setting, he decided Benny should be seen naked quite often, especially when a frat initiation leaves him in his birthday suit in the woods with the not-sure-if-he’s-gay Miles. “I remember college being naked a lot,” says Skinner, who studied film at Georgetown University. “Also what is scarier to me than being naked with the guy I’m not sure is gay in the woods. That’s the scariest thing ever, so that feels right and honest. What a nightmare. Don’t look down. I want to look down. But I got to see this, I got to see this thing.”

On a serious note, Skinner wants “Overcompensating” to provide some relief and a refuge of sorts for the LGBTQ+ community as it comes under ongoing attacks by the Trump administration. “I feel so fortunate that this show is coming out right now,” he says. “I hope it gives people any form of a break from this tyranny, I think we can call it [that] at this point. I think it’s so disgusting, and hopefully people can feel the whole message of the show, which is this idea of being scared and trying to find the people that make you feel less scared to either be yourself or exist in this really scary world.”

Season 1 of “Overcompensating” is available on Prime Video.
