Mosley and Quinnen Williams — for the upcoming NFL season.
The second season of HBO Original drama series Winning Time: The Rise Of The Lakers Dynasty (8/6) continues to explore the professional and personal lives of the 1980s Los Angeles Lakers.

Season two of Max Original comedy series RAP SH!T (8/10) follows two estranged high school friends from Miami, Shawna and Mia, who reunite to form a rap group.

HBO Original documentary BS High (8/23) explores the lucrative and cut-throat world of football prep programs, where careers and reputations can be made and the dreams and well being of young athletes hang in the balance. When a nationally televised high school football game between top-ranked IMG Academy and unknown Bishop Sycamore High School ended with multiple injuries on the field and a 58-0 blowout win for IMG Academy, the fiasco caused fans and audiences to question the legitimacy of the Bishop Sycamore program and its head coach, Roy Johnson. The film is a revealing exploration of one of the most intriguing sagas to cross the world of sports in years.

Produced by Cartoon Network Studios, the ten-episode series will explore their relationship and the mysterious land of Ooo. Fionna and Cake – with the help of the former Ice King, Simon Petrikov – embark on a multiverse-hopping adventure and journey of self-discovery. All the while a powerful new antagonist determined to track them down and erase them from existence, lurks in the shadows.
