HBO Sets Premiere Date For The Deuce Season Two

HBO has announced the season two premiere date for The Deuce. The company announced on Monday that the show’s second season will premiere on September 9th.

The show chronicles the rise of the porn culture in New York from the early 1970s through the mid-1980s, exploring the rough-and-tumble world of the sex trade from the moment when both a liberalizing cultural revolution in American sexuality and new legal definitions of obscenity created a billion-dollar industry that is now an elemental component of the American cultural landscape. It follows a cast of barkeeps, prostitutes, pimps, police and nightlife denizens as they swirl through a world of sex, crime, high times and violence, and the porn business begins its climb from Mafia-backed massage parlors and film labs to legitimacy and cultural permanence.

The Deuce is titled after the local slang for New York’s fabled 42nd Street and stars James Franco and Maggie Gyllenhaal.
