Ballers’ season two only just premiered on July 17, but HBO is already certain there is a terrific amount of balling left to be done. The network announced today that the show will be back for a third season. “Dwayne Johnson, Stephen Levinson, Mark Wahlberg and the rest of the Ballers team have once again delivered a winner for our viewers,” said president of HBO programming Casey Bloys. “We look forward to another great season of Ballers next year.” The show’s first season averaged 9.1 million viewers, HBO’s most successful half hour in six years, all of which is, look, it’s just unimpeachable baller. No one can take away how baller this show has been. You’ll have to pull how baller it is out of Dwayne Johnson’s cold, dead baller hands.
