Max's original comedy series Bookie Season 2 will be streaming from December 12, 2024. It comes around one year after the violent showdown, Sandra's ultimatum for Danny, and Danny accidentally falling in the pool after professing about winning Sandra back in the Season 1 finale.
For the unversed, Bookie is a comedy series with Chuck Lorre and Nick Bakay credited as co-creators. It stars stand-up comedian and actor Sebastian Maniscalco, who played crazy Joe Gallo in The Irishman and was the voice of Magician Mouse in the animated IF.
Maniscalco plays a bookie named Danny in Bookie, which has a 90% score on Rotten Tomatoes. He's a veteran bookie in Los Angeles whose business could go down for good with the potential legalization of sports gambling. He will be joined by returning cast Omar J. Dorsey, Jorge Garcia, Andrea Anders, Maxim Swinton, and more in Bookie Season 2.
