Max has released a poster and trailer for Bookie, the upcoming comedy drama series from Chuck Lorre (Two and a Half Men, The Big Bang Theory).
The series centres on Danny (Sebastian Maniscalco), a veteran bookie as he struggles with the impending legalization of sports gambling in California, his unstable clients and attempts to adapt to the ever-changing world in L.A.
Joining Maniscalco in the cast are Omar J. Dorsey, Vanessa Ferlito, Jorge Garcia, Andrea Anders, Maxim Swinton, and Charlie Sheen, who reunites with creator Lorre over a decade after the actor’s exit from Two and a Half Men. Watch the trailer below…
As per Deadline: “Bookie follows veteran Los Angeles bookie Danny (Sebastian Maniscalco) as the potential legalization of sports gambling in California threatens to upend his business for good. Alongside best friend and former NFL player Ray (Omar J. Dorsey), side-hustling sister Lorraine (Vanessa Ferlito), and reluctantly reformed drug dealer Hector (Jorge Garcia), Danny must contend with his increasingly unstable clients as he tries to settle their debts – all while making plenty of risky bets of his own. Full of relatable mishaps, Bookie chronicles one man’s journey to adapt to an ever-changing world as he attempts to charm and con his way to the top.”
Bookie premieres on Max on November 30th.
