HBO is sticking by two of its more reliable comedies. The cable network has renewed Ballers for a fifth season and Insecure for a fourth season. The renewals come after the August 12 premieres for both series.
Ballers explores the glamorous and often cutthroat world of pro football through a group of past and present players striving to stay in the game. It stars Dwayne Johnson as ex-superstar Spencer Strasmore, who has reinvented himself as a financial manager for today’s players. Cast also includes series regulars John David Washington, Rob Corddry, Omar Benson Miller, Donovan Carter, Troy Garity, London Brown and Brittany S. Hall.
Insecure follows the friendship of two black women as they deal with their own real-life flaws while attempting to navigate different worlds and cope with an endless series of uncomfortable everyday experiences. Issa Rae also stars with Yvonne Orji, Lisa Joyce, Natasha Rothwell, Amanda Seales, and Y’lan Noel.
