Creator and executive producer Alan Ball (“True Blood” and “Six Feet Under”) brings an “engaging and provocative” (Newsday) exploration of America through the eyes of a multiracial family in “Here and Now,” available for Digital Download May 14th, and arriving on DVD on August 7th.
Starring Oscar®-winners Tim Robbins (“Mystic River”) and Holly Hunter (“The Piano”), the new HBO drama offers a darkly comic meditation on complicated forces at work during contemporary times, exploring what it’s like to be an “other” in today’s America.
“Here and Now” follows the Bayer-Boatwrights, a progressive, suburban family led by a philosophy professor, Greg (Robbins), and conflict-resolution consultant, Aubrey (Hunter), in Portland, Oregon. They’re a Caucasian couple with three now-grown adopted children from Liberia, Vietnam, and Colombia, as well as one teenage biological daughter. Although the Bayer-Boatwrights are materially rich, each member lacks happiness or fulfillment behind a seemingly perfect façade. Jerrika Hinton, Daniel Zovatto, Raymond Lee, Andy Bean, Sosie Bacon, and Joe Williamson also star in the series, which is also executive produced by Peter Macdissi, and David Knoller.
Available on Digital HD May 14th and on DVD August 7th
