The half-hour HBO original comedy series follows the crew of an unloved franchise movie fighting for their place in a savage and unruly cinematic universe. The comedy series shines a light on the secretive chaos behind the walls and world of superhero moviemaking when it all goes bad.
The series stars Himesh Patel (“Station Eleven”) as Daniel, the production’s first assistant director, with Lolly Adefope (“Shrill”) as Dag, his new deputy. Billy Magnussen plays the film’s star, Adam, while guest star Richard E. Grant is the feature’s antagonist, Peter. Other cast members include Daniel Brühl as Eric, the film’s director, Jessica Hynes as Steph, the director’s assistant, Darren Goldstein as Pat the studio guy, Isaac Powell as Bryson, the studio’s eyes and ears, and Aya Cash as Anita, the film’s new producer. Sam Mendes directed the pilot episode and enlisted Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross to handle the theme music. Jeff Cardoni handled the rest of the score.
The eight-episode HBO comedy “The Franchise” premieres on Sunday, October 6 at 10:00pm ET/PT on HBO and will be available to stream on Max.
