THE HIT MSNBC SERIES, HOSTED BY AWARD-WINNING ACTOR JOHN LEGUIZAMO, SHOWCASES LATINO COMMUNITIES IN PHILADELPHIA, PHOENIX, DENVER, NEW ORLEANS, RALEIGH, AND SAN ANTONIO
(May 30, 2025 – NEW YORK) 𑁋The second season of the critically acclaimed docuseries from MSNBC Films, Leguizamo Does America, premieres on Sunday, July 6. New episodes will air on Sunday nights at 9 p.m. ET on MSNBC.
Leguizamo Does America, an NBC News Studios production, is created and hosted by Emmy and Tony award-winning actor John Leguizamo. The second season captures stories of Latino communities across the country with Leguizamo’s signature energy and style. From Philadelphia to San Antonio, he explores how Latinos are shaping America through their history, culture, food and achievements. The blend of politics, travel and history is told through a road trip-style journey that highlights the country’s fastest-growing demographic.
A New Yorker of Puerto Rican and Colombian descent, Leguizamo has spent years highlighting Hispanic culture. In the first season of Leguizamo Does America, Leguizamo explored diverse locations across the country firsthand, touching on his mission to celebrate the Latino experience.
“For season two, I wanted to go deeper into America and put a magnifying glass on Latino exceptionalism, Latino ingenuity, and Latino genius,” says John Leguizamo. “Our culture has made America what it is since 1492 and nobody knows it. We built and fought for this country, and suffered in America for who we are. Let’s celebrate our legacy of contributions that continue to be vital to the prosperity of this great country.”
Leguizamo Does America continues its travelogue format, exploring a fresh set of destinations – including stops in Philadelphia, Phoenix, Denver, New Orleans, Raleigh and San Antonio. The series delivers its powerful storytelling through the lens of one of the most iconic voices in the Latino community, while spotlighting the rich culture and contributions of Latinos across the country.
“Now more than ever, it’s important that we celebrate the incredible contributions that Latinos have made and continue to make to this great nation,” says director Ben DeJesus. “It’s been one of the highlights of my life to create and develop this series alongside the force of nature that is John Leguizamo and our passionate showrunner Carolina Saavedra. It’s also important to note that this is a show made for audiences of all backgrounds, not just Latinos.”
