HBO has canceled 'Winning Time' after two seasons following a drastic ratings drop. The series chronicles the Los Angeles Lakers' Showtime era in the 1980s.
Inside the grueling training regimen Quincy Isaiah and Solomon Hughes endured to play Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in “Winning Time.”And behind the scenes, HBO had also been transparent with its showrunners, Messick told Vulture. He said the channel was clear that given the show’s expensive budget, “we always knew that the ratings would have to achieve a certain level for it to make sense.
The first season, which ran alongside NCAA’s March Madness basketball tournament in 2022, did well, but thefor the second season, which debuted Aug. 6. Shortly after, Messick said HBO Chief Executive Casey Bloys told him the writing was on the wall for the series. “Casey had called me a couple of weeks into season two, as a friend, and just said, ‘It’s not looking good,’” Messick said. “So it wasn’t a surprise for the final decision based on how it was performing.”
When asked whether running the show during the strikes had played a factor in the ratings dip, Messick said, “One hundred percent,” mentioning its “big ensemble cast,” which includes Oscar winners Sally Field as Jessie Buss and Adrien Brody as Pat Riley.
