HBO is moving forward with The Brink.
Nearly a month after the dark comedy’s debut, the premium cable network has ordered a second season of the Jack Black/Tim Robbins series. The half-hour, which bowed alongside Dwayne Johnson’s Ballers in late June, was part of a push to broaden out the network’s comedy brand.
The premiere drew a respectable 1.6 million viewers in its 10:30 pm slot, down from lead-in Ballers’ 2.2 million viewer haul.
