HBO’s highly acclaimed series “Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty,” has been renewed for a second season by the network.
The news comes in the wake of a series viewership high 1.2 million viewers for this past Sunday’s fifth episode.
Based on Jeff Pearlman’s book “Showtime: Magic, Kareem, Riley and the Los Angeles Lakers Dynasty of the 1980s,” the series takes an in-depth look into the professional and personal lives of the 1980s Los Angeles Lakers – one of the NBA’s most iconic dynasties.
“It’s been a thrill to bring WINNING TIME to life with Adam McKay, Max Borenstein, our phenomenal producing team, and this incredible cast,” Executive Vice President of HBO Programming Francesca Orsi said.
