Laura Linney, Jon Tenney, Tony Shalhoub, Aaron Tveit and Stephen Spinella round out an award-heavy cast. The series blends narcissism, family drama and theatrical ambition into a heartfelt, humorous love letter to the messy magic of showbiz.

You know, just a very messy Wednesday.
Creator Steven Conrad leans into absurdist humor, tossing in roller dance, cornhole, kinky sex manuevers and a side of murder mystery. By the end, the facade of “Midwestern nice” has been thoroughly shattered.
Episode 1 premieres Sunday, March 1 at 9 p.m. ET on HBO and HBO Max
