HBO Renews ‘The Brink’ for a Second Season

HBO’s freshman comedy The Brink is returning for a second season. Deadline reports that the pay network has officially renewed the Jack Black and Tim Robbins-starring comedy, which is currently in the middle of airing its debut season on Sunday nights and follows the US Secretary of State (Robbins), a Foreign Service officer (Black), and a Navy fighter pilot (Pablo Schreiber) who “must pull through the chaos around them to save the planet from World War III.” The renewal comes just two weeks after executive producer Jerry Weintraub died at age 77. HBO also renewed freshman comedy Ballers starring Dwayne Johnson earlier this month.
