If you prefer geeky over glamor, experiencing life in the valley is probably for you. Season 4 is slated to air sometime in 2017.
How to Make It in America
How to Make It in America tells the story of two friends from Brooklyn who have visions of getting rich, by starting a hip-hop clothing brand. The HBO series lasted a whopping two seasons, debuting in 2010. There are 17 episodes, in total.
Executive producer Mark Wahlberg, who also produced Entourage, hoped that the show would be picked up by another network after How to Make It in America was canceled in 2012. That didn’t happen. But, it’s not too late to get to know “20-somethings” Ben Epstein and Cam Calderon and learn how they relate to and get rich in the melting pot called New York City.
