The Franchise S1

HBO’s satirical comedy The Franchise follows a film crew on an unloved franchise movie fighting for their place in a savage and unruly cinematic universe. Is this Hollywood's new dawn or cinema's last stand?

Emmy nominee Himesh Patel (Station Eleven, Yesterday) and Critics Choice Super winner Aya Cash (The Boys) lead the cast, which includes 2024 International Emmy nominee Jessica Hynes, Screen Actors Guild nominee Katherine Waterston (Fantastic Beasts franchise) and Eswatini-born Oscar nominee Richard E Grant. 

Emmy-winning series creator Jon Brown (who worked on Veep and Succession) produces alongside Oscar-nominated Veep creator Armando Iannucci and Oscar winner Sam Mendes (1917, Skyfall, American Beauty), who also directed the pilot episode.
