Another award-winning drama is dropping this winter to keep you entertained through these freezing-cold winter months.

Emmy-nominated series Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakes Dynasty will be returning to Binge for season two this August, and if the trailer is anything to go by, it looks just as addictive as season one.

Season one of the sports drama television series followed the personal lives of 1980’s Lakers basketball players and many of the storylines were based on actual events that were detailed in Jeff Pearlman’s non-fiction book Showtime: Magic, Kareem, Riley, and the Los Angeles Lakers Dynasty of the 1980s.

Throughout the season, the characters battled with family problems, relationship dramas, and serious tragedies, all while trying to keep their coveted spots on the L.A. Lakers basketball team.

What will season two of Winning Time be about?

Over seven exciting episodes, season two covers the Lakers players’ personal and professional lives from right after the 1980 Finals through to 1984. The new season has a heavy focus on the first professional rematch of the era’s greatest stars: Magic Johnson and Larry Bird.

Who’s in it?

Season two of Winning Time will see John C. Reilly return as Jerry Buss, Quincy Isaiah as Magic Johnson and Jason Clarke come back as Jerry West. It will also see Gaby Hoffmann, Hadley Robinson, and DeVaughn Nixon return as Claire Rothman, Jeanie Buss and Norm Nixon.

Meanwhile, Adrien Brody will come back as Pat Riley, as will Jason Segel as Paul Westhead

The ensemble cast for the second season also includes Solomon Hughes, Tamera Tomakili, Brett Cullen, Stephen Adly Guirgis, Spencer Garrett, Molly Gordon, Joey Brooks, Delante Desouza, Jimel Atkins, Austin Aaron, McCabe Slye, Thomas Mann, Gillian Jacobs, with Michael Chiklis and Rob Morgan.
