Charlamagne Tha God’s late-night show is being rebranded as it heads into its second season.

The series, which returns Thursday, July 28 at 11:30 p.m. ET/PT, will now be called “Comedy Central’s Hell of a Week with Charlamagne Tha God.”

The show is also getting a new format, featuring what MTV Entertainment Studios explained in a release was an unlikely pairings of comedians, outspoken celebrities and thought-leaders across the political spectrum to debate the current events permeating politics and culture with influential guests unpacking the stories blazing the headlines.

“Last year I shared ‘Tha God’s Honest Truth’ about politics, culture and social issues but this year, I’m thinking enough shows talking about problems; I want to discuss solutions,” Lenard “Charlamagne” McKelvey said in a statement. “Regardless of if the conversation is politics, entertainment, or just some random f–k sh– going on in the culture, ‘Hell of A Week’ will be a safe space for free speech and a safe space for comedy. Basically, if you don’t want to be ‘canceled,’ this isn’t the show for you.”
