Earlier this year, the Starz limited series “Gaslit” took on the Watergate scandal and all its complexities. Now it’s HBO‘s turn to have a crack at the story with “White House Plumbers,” albeit from a different perspective.
The upcoming limited series sees Woody Harrelson and Justin Theroux as the main architects behind the political scandal who barely realize what they’re getting themselves into.
Here’s the show’s official synopsis, courtesy of HBO:
WHITE HOUSE PLUMBERS tells the story of how Nixon’s own political saboteurs and Watergate masterminds, E. Howard Hunt and G. Gordon Liddy, accidentally toppled the presidency they were zealously trying to protect.
Alongside Harrelson and Theroux, “White House Plumbers” also stars Domhnall Gleeson, Lena Headey, Kiernan Shipka, and Ike Barinholtz. Other cast includes Judy Greer, Toby Huss, Kathleen Turner, Kim Coates, and Yul Vazquez. F. Murray Abraham and John Carroll Lynch also star.
“Veep” showrunner David Mandel directs all five episodes of “White House Plumbers.” Alex Gregory and Peter Huyck adapt Egil & Matthew Krogh‘s 2007 book “Integrity” for the series.
So, will “White House Plumbers” be one of HBO’s must-see shows of 2023? With the talent on board, count on it. The limited series hits HBO in March 2023. Watch a teaser for the series below.
