March 1 (UPI) -- Stand-up comic Sebastian Maniscalco has confirmed he is now filming the HBO Max comedy series, How to Be a Bookie, in Los Angeles.

"All bets are off," Maniscalco tweeted along with a photo of him and co-star Omar J. Dorsey.

The eight-episode show comes from Mom producers Chuck Lorre and Nick Bakay.

Jorge Garcia, Andrea Anders, Vanessa Ferlito and Maxim Swinton will co-star.

"A veteran bookie struggles to survive the impending legalization of sports gambling, increasingly unstable clients, family, co-workers, and a lifestyle that bounces him around every corner of Los Angeles, high and low," said a synopsis released Tuesday.
