Bookie Renewed for Season 2; Cast for The White Lotus Season 3

The Max Original comedy series Bookie, from Emmy(R)-nominated creators Chuck Lorre and Nick Bakay, starring Sebastian Maniscalco and produced by Warner Bros. Television, has been renewed for a second season. The season one finale debuted on December 21, and the full first season is available to stream on Max. From Emmy(R)-nominated creator Chuck Lorre (The Big Bang Theory) and Nick Bakay, this darkly funny comedy follows veteran Los Angeles bookie Danny (Sebastian Maniscalco) as the potential legalization of sports gambling in California threatens to upend his business for good. Alongside best friend and former NFL player Ray (Omar J. Dorsey), side-hustling sister Lorraine (Vanessa Ferlito), and reluctantly reformed drug dealer Hector (Jorge Garcia), Danny must contend with his increasingly unstable clients as he tries to settle their debts - all while making plenty of risky bets of his own. Full of relatable mishaps, Bookie chronicles one man's journey to adapt to an ever-changing world as he attempts to charm and con his way to the top. Season 1 cast: Stars Sebastian Maniscalco, Omar J. Dorsey, Jorge Garcia, Andrea Anders, Vanessa Ferlito, and Maxim Swinton.
