Jack Black’s new show The Brink to air on HBO this summer

January 10, 2015 by Scott J. Davis

It’s been a while since we have seen Jack Black on the screen, but that is set to change this year as HBO has announced that the actor’s new 10-episode show The Brink will air this summer, with a cast that also includes Tim Robbins (The Shawshank Redemption) and Pablo Schreiber (The Wire) and a host of others including Sin City’s Carla Gugino and The Daily Show’s Aasif Mandvi.

Created by Roberto Benabib and Kim Benabib, the epic dark comedy series focuses on a geopolitical crisis and its effect on three disparate, desperate men, Here’s the official synopsis…

When a rogue general seizes control of Pakistan and its nuclear arsenal, the fate of the world rests on the shoulders of three improbable Americans: Secretary of State Walter Larson (Robbins), lowly Foreign Service officer Alex Talbot (Black) and ace Navy fighter pilot Zeke Tilson (Schreiber). From the turbulent streets of the Middle East, to the White House Situation Room, to an aircraft carrier on the Red Sea, these three compromised souls must pull through the chaos around them to save the planet from World War Three.
