Aaron Sorkin is brining his fast paced, smartly written style ("The Social Network", "The West Wing", "Moneyball") to HBO with the new series "The Newsroom" which will debut on June 10th. Jeff Daniels is the lead anchor and the rest of the cast includes Emily Mortimer, Jane Fonda, Dev Patel, and Sam Waterson.
The show's site on HBO.com gives a little detail about what the show will be about:
From the mind of Aaron Sorkin, creator of The West Wing and screenwriter of The Social Network and Moneyball, comes The Newsroom, a behind-the-scenes look at the people who make a nightly cable-news program. Focusing on a network anchor (played by Jeff Daniels), his new executive producer (Emily Mortimer), the newsroom staff (John Gallagher, Jr., Alison Pill, Thomas Sadoski, Olivia Munn, Dev Patel) and their boss (Sam Waterston), the series tracks their quixotic mission to do the news well in the face of corporate and commercial obstacles-not to mention their own personal entanglements.
