An HBO comedy-drama, Ballers stars Johnson, Rob Corddry, John David Washington, Omar Benson Miller, Donovan Carter, Troy Garity, London Brown, Jazmyn Simon and Brittany S. Hall. The series follows former superstar Spencer Strasmore (Johnson), who has re-invented himself as a financial adviser for both young phenoms and veteran superstars. Spencer’s role in his clients’ lives far exceeds money management as he struggles to help them navigate the many pitfalls that come with life in the spotlight. In season four, he and Joe (Corddry) head to Los Angeles, in hopes of capitalizing on the action sports market.
Season four of Ballers kicked off on August 12th. The four installments that have aired thus far have averaged a 0.40 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 958,000 viewers. Compared to season three, that’s down by about 50% in each category. A decline was expected since, last summer, Ballers aired out of HBO’s biggest show, Game of Thrones.
HBO also renewed Insecure for a fourth season today. Both HBO series are expected to air their respective new seasons next year. Here’s a portion of the press release:
