How ‘South Side’ Creators Stay True to Chicago on TV

Season three of “South Side” premieres Thursday on HBOMax. The comedy follows various characters — from workers at a rent-to-own store to wannabe rappers to cops — as they make their hustle on Chicago’s South Side. Creators Diallo Riddle (who plays Allen Gayle), Sultan Salahuddin (Simon), and Bashir Salahuddin (Officer Goodnight) tell host Jacoby Cochran about what inspired the show and how they stay true to the city to get the biggest laughs.

You can see an advanced screening of the season three premiere of “South Side” tomorrow at DuSable Museum. Plus, Bashir Salahuddin and Diallo Riddle will be talking to WBEZ’s Sasha Ann-Simons.
