MAY 1 – HBO’s WHITE HOUSE PLUMBERS  *Limited Series Premiere*

• From David Mandel (VEEP), WHITE HOUSE PLUMBERS is a five-episode limited series that takes audiencesbehind-the-scenes of the Watergate scandal as Nixon’s political saboteurs, E. Howard Hunt (Woody Harrelson) and G. Gordon Liddy (Justin Theroux), accidentally topple the presidency they were zealously trying to protect… and their families along with it. Chronicling actions on the ground, this satirical drama begins in 1971 when the White House hires Hunt and Liddy, former CIA and FBI, respectively, to investigate the Pentagon Papers leak. After failing upward, the unlikely pair lands on the Committee to Re-elect the President, plotting several unbelievable covert ops – including bugging the Democratic National Committee offices at the Watergate complex. Proving that history can sometimes be stranger than fiction, WHITE HOUSE PLUMBERS sheds light on the lesser-known series of events that led to one of America’s greatest political crimes. Additional cast includes Lena Headey, Judy Greer, Domhnall Glesson, Toby Huss, Ike Barinholtz, Kathleen Turner, Kim Coates, and John Caroll Lynch.
