Dwayne Johnson comedy Ballers renewed for a third season

July 31, 2016 by Gary Collinson

The insanely-busy Dwayne Johnson’s schedule just got a little busier, with HBO announcing that it has renewed the hit comedy series Ballers for a third season.

“Dwayne Johnson, Stephen Levinson, Mark Wahlberg and the rest of the Ballers team have once again delivered a winner for our viewers,” said HBO’s Casey Bloys as part of the official announcement.

Ballers stars Johnson as Spencer Strasmore, an ex-NFL star who has reinvented himself as a financial adviser to the current crop of players. It’s second season premiered a fortnight ago, with the first episode drawing 5.7 million viewers.

In addition to a ridiculous amount of feature film projects, Johnson announced another foray into television just last week, with the former WWE superstar set to produce the bodybuilding drama Muscle Beach.
