'Hoops' Season 2: Everything We Know So Far

This is a live article and it will be updated as new details about Hoops Season 2 come our way. This is what we know so far.

Hoops

Netflix dropped its adult animated sitcom Hoops in August 2020, and while it didn't please the critics, the audience was looking forward to a second season. Hoops managed to crack into Netflix's Top 10, which is a huge milestone. Is 'Hoops' coming for season 2? Here's everything we know so far.

Has 'Hoops' Been Renewed For Season 2?

Renewal Status: Canceled

No, it’s game over for Hoops. Netflix has canceled the adult animated comedy after one season, TVLine has confirmed. Although the show received incredibly low critic ratings, the viewership was quite noteworthy.

What Could've Been The Plot Of Hoops Season 2?

In season 1, Ben managed to carry his below-average-height basketball team through thick and thin with the help of Matty, a 7-foot-tall 16-year-old teen. Towards the end of season 1, Matty was offered to play basketball in college. Ben pleaded with Matty to stay in Lenwood High but failed. Luckily, before everything turns into sad goodbyes, Ben receives an offer to coach at the same college Matty was invited to. However, in a typical string of bad luck that often follows Ben, the two end up getting stranded on the road after his car broke down while driving to college. Although season 1 ended with Ben and Matty getting stuck, we expected that we would see both Ben and Matty as they try to explore their new opportunities for season 2. Will they make it to the college team? Or will the road bring them back to Lenwood High? Guess we will never know. 

Who Is Cast In Hoops?

The major cast includes Jake Johnson as Coach Ben Hopkins, Ron Funches as Ron, Cleo King as Opal Lowry, Natasha Leggero as Shannon, A. D. Miles as Matty, and Rob Riggle as Barry Hopkins.

What The Cast Members Hoped For Hoops Season 2 Before It Got Canceled?

Speaking to Inverse, some of the cast have revealed their hopes for their respective roles in Hoops for season 2. Ron Funches, who plays Lenwood High's assistant basketball coach and is dating Ben's wife, said he just wants 'to sleep with more of Ben's exes.' Funches also thinks it would be fun for 'Ben and Ron to switch mindsets for a while.'

"I think it would be fun for Ben and Ron to switch mindsets for a while, maybe when Ben gets his shit together, we see Ron get crazy and fall apart, and we see what he's like if he lost his fucking mind, I think that would be fun," Funches said.

Meanwhile, Natasha Leggero, who plays Ben's ex-wife Shannon, agrees with Funches's idea.

"Yeah, I love that, and I think that would be a fun dynamic for Shannon too because there's some part of her that's still in love with Ben. I think if he did get his shit together, she could go there a little bit, but then, of course, it wouldn't end well," Natasha revealed.

On the other hand, Cleo King, who plays Principal Opal Lowry, wants her character to have a boyfriend in season 2.

"I want to see Opal with a boyfriend! She needs a steady guy. Opal is ready for that," Cleo said.
