If you like basketball, there is a decent chance you’re excited about the second season of HBO’s Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty.
The drama is a dark comedy that provides an inside look at the rise of the Lakers dynasty in the early 1980s. It is a fantastic period piece about Los Angeles, too.
Of course, any show about Hollywood is going to have a star-studded cast as well. This one features the likes of John C. Reilly, Adrien Brody, Jason Segel, Jason Clark and Michael Chiklis. Several other actors, including former University of California basketball player Solomon Hughes, made their television debuts with this show.
The second season debuts on Sunday, August 6 at 9:00 p.m. ET on HBO and will be available to stream on Max.
Take a look at the cast of the show and then compare the actors to their real-life counterparts.
