Winning Time Renewed For Season 2

As a fan of any sports related content, this news makes me quite happy!

The Hollywood Reporter confirms that HBO has renewed its series about the Showtime-era Lakers, Winning Time, for a second season. The pickup comes midway through the show’s first season, which chronicles Jerry Buss (John C. Reilly) purchasing the team and Earvin “Magic” Johnson’s (Quincy Isaiah) rookie season in 1979-80.

Francesca Orsi, executive vp HBO Programming, in a statement.

“It’s been a thrill to bring Winning Time to life with [executive producers] Adam McKay, Max Borenstein, our phenomenal producing team, and this incredible cast,”

“This series not only tells the riveting story of the Lakers’ rise, but is also a look back at a transformative era in basketball, celebrity, and the city of Los Angeles. We can’t wait to see how this team will tell the next chapter of this dynasty.”
