A slew of new HBO scheduling details are spilling out of Television Critics Association Press Tour this afternoon. According to a press release HBO provided to critics, the upcoming programming special will look a little something like this...
First up is Luck, which aired a preview of its pilot last month. The horse racing-themed series starts in earnest on Sunday, January 29 at 9 p.m. HBO describes Luck as follows:
From acclaimed director Michael Mann and 'Deadwood' creator David Milch, 'Luck' takes a provocative look at the world of horse racing - the owners, gamblers, jockeys and diverse gaming industry players. The cast stars Dustin Hoffman, Dennis Farina, John Ortiz, Richard Kind, Ian Hart, Kevin Dunn, Ritchie Coster, Jason Gedrick, Jill Hennessy, Tom Payne, Kerry Condon, Gary Stevens and Nick Nolte. The pilot is directed by Michael Mann and written by David Milch.
The third season premiere of Eastbound and Down will debut on Sunday, February 19 at 10:00. Eastbound and Down will be followed on Sunday nights by Life's Too Short, a show from Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant.
The premiere of the highly anticipated second season of Game Of Thrones will air on Sunday, April 1 at 9 p.m. Just like last season, Season Two will be comprised of only ten episodes.
Also in April, HBO will roll out its Judd Apatow-produced comedy, Girls, which is about the lives of female Brooklynites in their twenties. Girls premieres on April 15 at 10:30 p.m. Veep, HBO's last new show of the season debuts a week later on April 22 at 10 p.m. Veep stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus as the Vice President of The United States.
