The Newsroom scene

Jeff Daniels and Emily Mortimer go at it in The Newsroom.

The HBO comedy-drama television series The Newsroom was created by Aaron Sorkin, the insanely popular, Academy Award-winning writer of The Social Network.

The show follows TV’s ACN news team on their quixotic (reportedly one of Sorkin’s favorite words) mission to reclaim the legacy of Edward R. Murrow and Walter Cronkite in the face of a fickle audience, corporate mandates and tangled personal relationships. Amongst those vying for integrity and success are Will McAvoy Jeff Daniels (Something Wild), a veteran news anchor whose recent public outburst prompted his staff to jump ship; and MacKenzie McHale (Emily Mortimer, Hugo), Will’s ex-girlfriend and a veteran newswoman who’s hired on to be his new executive producer.

Also included in the cast is Sam Waterston (The Killing Fields), Alison Pill (To Rome with Love), Thomas Sadoski (30 Beats), Dev Patel (The Last Airbender), Olivia Munn (I Don’t Know How She Does It) and Jane Fonda (Barbarella).

The second season of The Newsroom is tentatively slated to premiere on HBO sometime in June, 2013, close to the time Season One is issued!
