“A series centered around a group of football players and their families, friends, and handlers.”
Ballers is returning for its 3rd season, following the up and down careers of two sports agents trying to make it big. The show doesn't have as much of an edge as I wish it did, but it is still very entertaining and full of eye candy so I am looking forward to this new season. The cast includes Dwayne Johnson, Rob Corddry, John David Washington, Troy Garity, and a number of professional athlete cameos. Check out the official trailer for season 3 below!!
Ted Takes Fun Facts, HBO's Ballers:
