Bookie season two gets HBO Max start date and trailer

We get a first look at season two of Bookie, the HBO Max comedy series from Chuck Lorre and Nick Bakay. The dark comedy series follows veteran Los Angeles bookmaker Danny (Sebastian Maniscalco) as the possible legalization of sports gambling in California threatens to disrupt his business forever. Together with his best friend and former NFL player Ray (Omar J. Dorsey), his sister Lorraine (Vanessa Ferlito) and reluctantly reformed drug dealer Hector (Jorge Garcia), Danny must cope with his increasingly unstable clients while trying to settle debts - while also making many risky bets himself.



The first season two trailer features some of this season's guest stars, including Charlie Sheen, Ray Romano, Zach Braff and Brad Garrett.

Full of putting mishaps into perspective, Bookie chronicles the journey of one man trying to adapt to an ever-changing world while charming and swindling his way to the top.

The season two cast also includes Andrea Anders, Maxim Swinton and Rob Corddry.

Bookie was created, written and produced by Lorre and Bakay and is produced by Warner Bros. Television. It is produced by Maniscalco, Judi Marmel and Andy Tennant, who directed several episodes.

The eight-episode second season returns on Thursday, December 12 with weekly episodes leading up to the season finale on Thursday, January 30.
