Winning Time Season 2 Is Happening: HBO Renews Los Angeles Lakers Show
The currently ongoing HBO series, Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty, has officially been renewed for season 2. The HBO scripted sports drama showcases the dramatic sky-rocketed rise of the NBA’s Los Angeles Lakers team in the 1980s that continued to run its course for the entirety of the decade, while also dipping into some behind-the-scenes controversies along the way. The series highlights the franchise-changing era kicked off with the purchase of the Lakers by Jerry Buss, followed by the drafting of Earvin “Magic” Johnson in 1979, which helped the franchise nose-dive into one of the greatest sports dynasties the world has ever seen.
