action
Will McAvoy is the newscaster and face of the cable broadcaster ACN Networks . After his executive producer switches to another show with most of his staff, Will's boss hires his ex-girlfriend Mackenzie MacHale as the new executive producer without his knowledge. Together, the two dare a fresh start: They set themselves the goal of establishing a completely new news program that focuses on investigative journalism and critical follow-up in the tradition of the great American anchors from the heyday of television, instead of the usual sensational journalism . However, the inexperience of some employees and increasingly also the boardroom of the parent company, which is dependent on good quotas and income from advertising customers, stand in their way.
In the second season, the team got used to it. Operation Genoa plays a central role . Through a chain of unfortunate circumstances, the editorial team falls for false evidence and reports that US forces used chemical weapons in the rescue of hostages. After the confidence in the reporting has been shaken, McAvoy, MacHale and others want to quit, but ultimately stay with the station. At the end of the second season, several characters come closer.
The third and final season revolves around the releases of whistleblower Lilly Hart, who is supported by Neal Sampat and whose identity is protected by the entire cast. The subject of Edward Snowden is also mentioned.
production
In January 2011, HBO ordered a pilot episode of the series, which was then produced under the project title More As the Story Develops .
After two episodes broadcast, HBO extended the series for a second season. After Jeff Daniels announced the extension for a third season via his Twitter account on September 3, 2013 , HBO announced a short time later that they were still in talks with Aaron Sorkin. In mid-January 2014, the third and final season was officially announced.
The series frequently addresses real events from 2010 to 2012, such as the Deepwater Horizon disaster , the killing of Osama bin Laden or the 2012 presidential election in the United States from the perspective of the - fictional - newsroom.
