Ready for a return trip to Atlantic City? HBO has announced premiere dates for 'Boardwalk Empire,' 'Hung' and 'How to Make It in America.'

The cable network has also renewed renewed 'Real Time with Bill Maher,' the popular political humor talk show, for a tenth season.

'Boardwalk Empire,' which recently picked up 18 Emmy nominations, will begin its 12-episode Season 2 on Sun., Sept. 25.

UPDATE: HBO executives said at the Television Critics Association press tour Thursday that the David Milch/Dustin Hoffman gambling drama 'Luck' will premiere in January 2012.

Comedies 'Hung' and 'How to Make It in America' return on Sun., Oct. 2. This is the third season for 'Hung' and second for 'How to Make It in America.'

Look for more HBO news soon. We'll have a lengthy 'Game of Thrones' post up early Friday; it will delve into what HBO president Michael Lombardo and co-president Richard Plepler said about the show during the network's Friday TCA session with the media. (One fact that emerged from the session: Lombardo hasn't read the George R.R. Martin books on which the TV show is based.)
