It’s fair to say that Game of Thrones has hogged a bit of the Sunday spotlight, but Dwayne Johnson and Issa Rae will have more time to shine next year. Both Ballers and Insecure have been picked up for new HBO seasons in 2018.
Now that Game of Thrones has shuffled off its usual spring perch alongside Silicon Valley and Veep, it’s going to need company. Enter Issa Rae and Dwayne Johnson, as Insecure Season 2 and Ballers Season 3 officially have their marching orders for July.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas — on HBO NOW, that is. This December, the network is gifting subscribers with several great new additions, including a few of this year’s most enjoyable films. So whether you missed Hail, Caesar! and Midnight Special in theaters, or you’ve been dying to give them another watch, HBO NOW’s upcoming slate has you covered — and then some.
Sure, HBO’s Ballers may seem like a sportier Entourage (with the same producing team behind it), but who couldn’t use more Dwayne Johnson in their lives? The full season 2 trailer has arrived ahead of its July premiere, as minnows Spence and Joe take their business up against a shark like Andy Garcia.
