Jason Momoa’s On the Roam Returns With Season 2 on HBO Max

Overview

• Season 2 launches on HBO Max with episodes featuring Metallica’s Kirk Hammett, punk band The Bobby Lees, and painter-filmmaker Julian Schnabel.
• Momoa and producer Brian Andrew Mendoza say the series is shot with a tiny crew in a cinéma vérité style that favors real moments over staged drama.
• Production fits around Momoa’s work on Street Fighter, Supergirl as Lobo, and Dune: Part Three, which at times kept him off set and even phoning in support to The Bobby Lees.
• Momoa says he uses his platform to connect makers to film jobs and folds handmade pieces into his characters, including a motion-capture turn as Blanka in Street Fighter.
• This season pushes bigger ideas such as a rare-guitar thread tied to Hammett, with chance connections even leading Momoa to emcee Ozzy Osbourne’s farewell.
