Avenue 5 is described as a space tourism comedy set 40 years in the future when the solar system is everyone’s oystery.
“Armando Iannucci and his team are masters of smart and incisive comedy, and the ensemble cast, brilliantly captained by Hugh Laurie, is second to none.
“We’ve loved every minute of Avenue 5’s inaugural voyage,” Amy Gravitt, EVP HBO Programming, said.
Avenue 5 is created, written and executive produced by Veep’s Armando Iannucci.
