The Kennedys: After Camelot stars Katie Holmes reprising her role as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Matthew Perry starring as Ted Kennedy. The Kennedys: After Camelot miniseries is based on the New York Times best seller, "After Camelot: Personal History of the Kennedy Family 1968 to the Present" by best-selling author and biographer J. Randy Taraborrelli. Jon Cassar (The Kennedys) and Katie Holmes directed from scripts by Stephen Kronish (The Kennedys) and Sandra Chwialkowska (Lost Girl). The miniseries covers the years from 1968 to 1999 and uses public events as a background to tell the intimate story of this iconic family as it struggles to come to terms with what Jackie Kennedy Onassis herself called ‘the end of Camelot.’ From the tumultuous events of 1968 after the assassination of Robert Kennedy to the marriage of Jackie to Aristotle Onassis and the tragedy of Chappaquiddick, The Kennedys: After Camelot follows the family and shows the great personal price paid to live up to the Kennedy family political ambition.

Leo Reich's first solo stand-up comedy special Leo Reich: Literally Who Cares?! debuts this December on HBO and will be available to stream on Max. Following rave reviews at Edinburgh Fringe Festival and an Off-Broadway run, the special from A24 taped at EartH in London this fall. Hot. Young. Cool. Fresh. Ripped. Hilarious. Groundbreaking. Avant-garde. These are just some of the words that comedian and writer Leo Reich uses to describe himself. In his first HBO comedy special, this self-diagnosed important young mind faces the swirling uncertainty of our collective future, asking the big questions, such as: “Is this helping?", “Am I hot?”, and "No offense guys but literally what is going on?" Treading the line between hilarious stand-up and humorless performance art, Leo Reich: Literally Who Cares?! blends songs, anecdotes, and anxious non-sequiturs in a valiant attempt to raise awareness about important social and political causes… or something.
