APRIL 30 – Crave Original Series WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE (EVEN JAY BARUCHEL) *Series Premiere*
- Death is certain. What isn’t certain is how — or if — the human species will perish entirely, and what humanity will do to cope or even thrive in the face of catastrophic threats. Jay Baruchel meets his fascination with the apocalypse head-on, as he explores, from a place of genuine curiosity and wonder, various ways humanity could possibly meet its doom including; an asteroid Armageddon; a nuclear catastrophe; a pandemic pandemonium; an alien invasion; a volcanic cataclysm; and a climate apocalypse. Featuring some of the top scientists, activists, and experts in their respective fields, and highlighting the cutting-edge science, ideas, and technological innovations at the forefront of the defense of humanity, the series is suffused with the ultimate hope that humankind can come together to make the world a better place. All six episodes of WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE (EVEN JAY BARUCHEL) premiere Saturday, April 30.
MAY 3 – HBO’s SPRING AWAKENING: THOSE YOU’VE KNOWN *Documentary Premiere*
- Streaming Tuesday, May 3 at 9 p.m. ET, SPRING AWAKENING: THOSE YOU’VE KNOWN is an emotional, star-studded tribute to Spring Awakening on the 15th anniversary of its Tony award-winning Broadway run. In a spectacular, one-night-only reunion concert to benefit The Actors Fund, the documentary pulls back the curtain to showcase the reunited original cast and creative team at rehearsals, in their homes, and backstage. The film also features electrifying performances from the reunion concert in November 2021, and performance footage from the original 2006 show, which forever changed the lives of the mostly unknown teenage cast, including Jonathan Groff and Lea Michele, who inspired a generation of fans by laying bare taboo issues of teen love, abortion, abuse, sexual identity, and suicide in an unapologetic, edgy rock musical set in the 1890s.
