The Max original series Bookie is returning for season 2, and there are already a slew of exciting updates regarding the irreverent comedy. Created by TV maven Chuck Lorre, Bookie concerns Danny, a veteran of the art of sports betting who tries to make a living in the wild and wooly world of Los Angeles. Anchored by a towering performance from stand-up comedian Sebastian Maniscalco in the lead role, Bookie is just the sort of short-form comedy series that HBO is known for.
