HBO picks up barbershop-set talk show ‘The Shop’ by LeBron James, Maverick Carter

LeBron James is wasting no time building his media empire in Los Angeles. After getting a comedy movie picked up by Paramount Players earlier this month, the new Los Angeles Lakers star has another project on the way with HBO.

On Thursday, HBO released a trailer for the network’s brand new barbershop-set talk show titled “The Shop,” produced in association with SpringHill Entertainment, the media company founded by James and his longtime friend and business parter Maverick Carter. The series, which will air exclusively on HBO, is set to debut on August 28.
