Marc Maron's second HBO Original comedy special Marc Maron: Panicked debuts Friday, August 1 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max. In his second HBO special, comedian and podcaster Marc Maron offers up his nuanced perspective on our increasingly uncertain world.

Maron starred in the Netflix series GLOW, for which he received a Critics Choice Award nomination and SAG Award nomination, as well as the scripted series Maron, which aired for four seasons on IFC. Most recently, Are We Good?, a documentary chronicling his career and journey of overcoming grief and loss, premiered at SXSW and screened at the Tribeca Festival. Currently, Maron stars alongside Owen Wilson in the Apple TV+ golf comedy series Stick.
STARZ announced an early Season Two renewal of its epic romantic saga, Outlander: Blood of My Blood, ahead of its summer premiere. Season One of the highly anticipated prequel series will debut on Friday, August 8, with new episodes available to stream weekly on Fridays on the STARZ app, and all STARZ streaming and on-demand platforms. Production on Season Two of Outlander: Blood of My Blood has begun in Scotland on the same stages where the legacy series Outlander filmed for the past ten years.
A stand-alone prequel series set in the Outlander universe, Outlander: Blood of My Blood follows the romance between Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater) and Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy), and Julia Moriston (Hermione Corfield) and Henry Beauchamp (Jeremy Irvine). From the battlefields of World War I to the rugged Highlands of 18th century Scotland, two fated couples must defy the forces that seek to tear them apart, unfolding in surprising and unforeseen ways.
Outlander: Blood of My Blood features new cast, characters and stories, welcoming viewers unfamiliar with the "Outlander" universe, while also providing existing fans with origin stories of fan-favorite characters from early seasons of Outlander, offering new perspectives that will change what they think they know. In addition to Corfield, Irvine, Slater and Roy, Outlander: Blood of My Blood stars Tony Curran (Simon Fraser, Lord Lovat), Rory Alexander (Murtagh Fitzgibbons Fraser), Séamus McLean Ross (Colum MacKenzie), Sam Retford (Dougal MacKenzie) and Conor MacNeill (Ned Gowan).
