Bookie is back with Season 2 with the same smart and irreverent humor that Chuck Lorre and Nick Bakay are known for. Bookies Danny and Ray meet unusual characters in the world of sports betting, including Charlie Sheen himself, but these eccentric people have nothing on the family they have waiting for them at home.

Season 2 stars Sebastian Maniscalco, Omar J. Dorsey, Vanessa Ferlito, Jorge Garcia, Andrea Anders, Maxim Swinton and Rob Corddry. Guest stars this season will include Charlie Sheen, Ray Romano, Zach Braff, and Brad Garrett.  

I talked to creators Chuck Lorre and Nick Bakay about why Danny and Ray are so trusting for bookies, why Walt wants to be in Danny, Ray, Lorraine, and Hector’s world so bad, what characteristics they wanted in Danny’s mother-in-law, and which character from the Chuck Lorre’s universe would place a bet with Danny and Ray.

Bookie Season 2 is now streaming on max.
