HBO: launch of the “White House Plumbers” miniseries on May 2 on the Warner Pass in US+24

HBO's White House Plumbers miniseries (5 x 60') about the Watergate scandal, starring Woody Harrelson (True Detective, HBO) and Justin Theroux (The Leftovers, HBO), will be available exclusively in France from Tuesday May 2 in the Warner Pass on Prime Video Channels, 24 hours after the United States, announced Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD), parent company of HBO, Wednesday, April 5.

White House Plumbers intends to shed light on one of the greatest political crimes in the history of the United States which caused the fall of President Richard Nixon. The fiction begins in 1971, when the White House hires E. Howard Hunt and G. Gordon Liddy, former members of the CIA and FBI, to investigate the Pentagon Papers leak. After an inconclusive investigation, this unlikely duo lands on the president's re-election committee to mastermind some incredible covert operations, including bugging Democratic Party headquarters at Washington's Watergate complex.

Imagined and written by Alex Gregory and Peter Huyck, the two screenwriters of the multi-award winning series Veep (HBO), the miniseries is directed by David Mandel, a former from Veep too. All three are producers alongside Frank Rich, David Bernad, Gregg Fienberg, Justin Theroux, Woody Harrelson, Len Amato and Ruben Fleischer, as well as Paul Lee, Mark Roybal and Nne Ebong, for independent studio Wiip, co-producer with HBO.

The cast also includes Lena Headey, Judy Greer, Domhnall Gleeson, Toby Huss, Ike Barinholtz, Kathleen Turner, Kim Coates, Yul Vazquez, Alexis Valdés, Nelson Ascencio, Tony Plana, Zoe Levin, Liam James, Kiernan Shipka, Tre Ryder, David Krumholtz, F. Murray Abraham, Rich Sommer, and John Carroll Lynch.
