“We’re especially happy to welcome both Woody and Justin back to HBO and are looking forward to getting started.”
The White House Plumbers will be executive produced by Harrelson, Theroux, Gregory and Huyck alongside Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland: Double Tap) and David Bernad for The District, Frank Rich, Paul Lee, Nne Ebong and former Veep showrunner David Mandle, who is attached to direct as well.
HBO proved to be a great boost for Woody Harrelson (Zombieland: Double Tap) and Justin Theroux (Maniac) as the two found acclaimed roles in the first season of True Detective and The Leftovers, respectively, and now they are making their return to the premium cabler in the Watergate limited series The White House Plumbers, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
“We’re excited to bring together such a talented team to take on this fascinating look at the internal machinations that brought down the Nixon White House,” HBO president of programming Casey Bloys said in a statement.
