Season Two of US comedy series Bookie, from Chuck Lorre (The Big Bang Theory, Two & a Half Men) will screen on Binge and FOX8 in December.
The eight-episode season, starring Sebastian Maniscalco, will debut episodes weekly leading up to the season finale on 31 January.
This darkly funny comedy follows veteran Los Angeles bookie Danny (Maniscalco) as the potential legalisation 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.
The series stars Maniscalco, Dorsey, Ferlito, Garcia, Andrea Anders, Maxim Swinton and Rob Corddry. Guest stars this season will include Charlie Sheen, Ray Romano, Zach Braff and Brad Garrett.
Produced by Warner Bros. Television, Bookie is created, written, and produced by Chuck Lorre and Nick Bakay; executive produced by Sebastian Maniscalco, Judi Marmel, and Andy Tennant, who directed multiple episodes.
Friday 13 December on Binge / 8:30pm on FOX8.
