‘Ballers’ Season 3 Air Date, News & Update: HBO Comedy-Drama Series Premiere Date Further Delayed As New Zika Virus Cases Hits Florida?

"Ballers" Season 3 filming has reportedly been delayed because of cases of Zika virus in Florida where the HBO series' storyline is located. In a worst case scenario, the comedy-drama series might be forced to relocate if the spread of the virus will not be contained.

In the recent news about Zika virus in Florida, Miami Herald reported that the newest infected zone still has low mosquito count and that it still does not need aerial spraying. Mayor Carlos Jimenez said that the outbreak was "very localized." Still, show runners of "Ballers" Season 3 would probably not take chances until the situation becomes more stable.

Reports of "Ballers" Season 3 moving to a different location will also have an impact, not only on the state's local employment but also to the storyline. Fans know that the story of HBO's comedy-drama series centers on a Miami Dolphins football player. How do you think the scriptwriters can go about the plot if they choose to move to another state from Florida?

Several Miami mayors have been sitting down and discussing the threats of Zika virus and even how to keep "Ballers" Season 3 to stay in Florida. But such talk could take a long time to be finalized. Until then, fans could only hope that the HBO series will not be further delayed.

Of course, "Ballers" Season 3 could still be filmed in a studio where South Florida location can be recreated. If show runners can finally find a way to address filming location for the HBO comedy-drama, then its release date could be well on its way in 2017.

Do you think "Ballers" Season 3 will continue filming in Florida in spite of Zika virus cases? Tell us what you think and stay tuned to GameNGuide for the latest news and update.
