'Winning Time: The Rise Of The Lakers Dynasty' Renewed For Season 2 By HBO

HBO has renewed Adam McKay’s critically praised drama series Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty for a second season.

The Season 2 pickup follows a viewership high for the series’ fifth episode on Sunday. It drew 1.2 million viewers across platforms on premiere night, up 37% from the first episode. The ten-episode first season will wrap on Sunday, May 8, on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max.

Winning Time is based on Jeff Pearlman’s book Showtime: Magic, Kareem, Riley, and the Los Angeles Lakers Dynasty of the 1980s. McKay’s Hyperobject Industries is producing.

Co-created by Max Borenstein and Jim Hecht, the fast-break series chronicles the professional and personal lives of the 1980s Lakers, one of sports’ most revered and dominant dynasties — a team that defined its era both on and off the court.
