- TriviaExecutive producer Adam McKay and Will Ferrell had been producing partners for 25 years, until 2019 when their partnership and friendship ended abruptly, because Ferrell had his heart set on playing Jerry Buss in the series, then in development. McKay agreed, casting Ferrell in the role, before changing his mind and casting John C. Reilly (who worked with Ferrell and McKay on Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006), Step Brothers (2008) and Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues (2013)) instead without telling Ferrell. Ferrell was furious and ended their business relationship; McKay thought their falling out would last several months before realizing that Ferrell was far more hurt than McKay thought he would be and told Vanity Fair in November 2021 that Ferrell "will never talk to me again."

Featured review
One of my favorite shows of all time is cancelled by so called lack of viewers? Can someone tell me how does that work. I'll be the first to say I did not want to watch the show until it was completed cause it would make my nerves bad waiting for the last episode. So how do you claim viewership is low before ppl like me, who loved the show, even saw it. All the garbage that's released on HBO, and they have the audacity to end this series prematurely. The run way was so deep for this show. Anyways, it just goes to show that there were powerful ppl behind the scenes that didn't want this to go as far as it appeared it would go. I believe Jennie Buss and Magic Johnson had a lot to do with the show's demise, as if their lives wouldn't have been entertainment. She had no problem letting the depict her father a certain way, but as soon as she was coming up in the story, Jeanie shut it down. It's pathetic honestly. I just want to encourage everyone to go watch the show still. It's a beautifully told story. Maybe a little bit dramatic on how they described people's personalities, but that's all for entertainment. I've yet to hear any criticism about this show besides from the characters being played in it. The just didn't like how they were portrayed. Since, the show was supposed to be about entertainment in the end, they absolutely did a fantastic job. Shame on HBO for canceling the show. After I watch the season two I'll be canceling my subscription. I can't support a company who's that shallow and can be bought or manipulated by an outsider.
