LOS ANGELES–With both series seeing record viewership this season, HBO has renewed the comedy series “Ballers” for a fourth season and “Insecure” for a third season, it was announced by Amy Gravitt, executive vice president, HBO Programming.

“We’re thrilled that the summer lineup of “Ballers” and “Insecure” connected with our viewers out of the gate,” said Gravitt. “We’re so proud to work with Dwayne, Issa and all of the amazing talent in both shows.”
