About ‘Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty’ Season 2 Premiere

“Winning Time” follows the Los Angeles Lakers through what has become known in the intervening decades as the “Showtime Lakers” era.

Season 2 of “Winning Time” picks up after the successful conclusion of the 1979-80 season, and finds the team wondering where to go next. The season will focus on the following four years of the Lakers dynasty, building to a peak with a rematch of Magic Johnson vs. Larry Bird in a 1984 clash of titans that no sports fan will want to miss reliving.

Reilly, Quincy Isaiah, Adrien Brody, Jason Clarke, Gaby Hoffmann, Jason Segel, Hadley Robinson, DeVaughn Nixon, Solomon Hughes, Tamera Tomakili, Brett Cullen, Stephen Adly Guirgis, Spencer Garrett, Molly Gordon, Joey Brooks, Delante Desouza, Jimel Atkins, Austin Aaron, McCabe Slye, Thomas Mann, Gillian Jacobs, with Michael Chiklis and Rob Morgan.
