The second season of Apple TV+'s Swagger is all set to air on Friday, June 23, 2023. The show tells the story of a young, highly talented basketball player who has to deal with immense pressure and expectations as he looks to attain success in an extremely competitive field. Here's a short excerpt from a description of season 2, shared by Apple TV+ Press:
''In season two, we meet the man-children Jace, Phil, Nick, Musa, Drew and Royale as they are entering their senior year of high school. All but Phil will be attending Cedar Cove Prep; a predominantly white institution where wealthy board members control the entire operation from the hiring of faculty to the enrollment of students. It is a school of power and influence.''
The synopsis further states,
''For all of their academic success, their basketball program has not been competitive until Emory Lawson, the athletic director, managed to acquire the Swagger players. Almost overnight, Cedar Cove’s basketball program becomes elite, attracting the attention of Alonzo Powers from Gladiator Sneakers.''
The series is based on NBA star Kevin Durant's life. It stars O'Shea Jackson Jr. in the lead role and many others who play key supporting roles. The show is helmed by noted director Reggie Rock Bythewood.
