4 HBO Series to Look Forward to this Summer

2. Ballers

Next is Ballers. You know, that male fantasy series that stars The Rock. Ballers is moving into its second season after a moderately successful first outing. Ballers is very much the replacement show for the Entourage crowd. Check out the trailer for the second season:

Ballers will premiere on July 17th. Everything about Ballers screams summer, so you can’t say HBO didn’t do its job in that department. According to Variety, Ballers closed out its first season as one of HBO’s most watched comedies in the past six years. That’s something, alright. Over on Metacritic, the ratings aren’t stellar, though they aren’t exactly poor, either.
