New Trailers for HBO’s ‘White House Plumbers’ and Prime Video’s ‘Citadel’
HBO has released the official trailer for the upcoming five-episode miniseries White House Plumbers, starring Woody Harrelson and Justin Theroux. They have also announced a Monday, May 1 release date, which might be unusual for the network, since it usually airs its main series on Sunday nights — that slot will still be occupied by Succession season 4 by that time.
The series follows the Watergate scandal in the 1970s from the perspective of the people that broke into the Democratic National Committee offices; perhaps a new perspective on the story with respect to All The President’s Men or Steven Spielberg’s The Post, which touched upon it briefly. Check out the new trailer here:
The cast includes Woody Harrelson (E. Howard Hunt), Justin Theroux (G. Gordon Liddy), Lena Headey (Dorothy Hunt), Judy Greer (Fran Liddy), Domhnall Gleeson (John Dean), Toby Huss (James McCord), Ike Barinholtz (Jeb Magruder), Kathleen Turner (Dita Beard), Kim Coates (Frank Sturgis), Yul Vazquez (Bernard “Macho” Barker), Alexis Valdés (Felipe De Diego), Nelson Ascencio (Virgilio “Villo” Gonzalez), Tony Plana (Eugenio “Muscolito” Martinez), Zoe Levin (Lisa Hunt), Liam James (Saint John Hunt), Kiernan Shipka (Kevan Hunt), Tre Ryder (David Hunt), David Krumholtz (William O. Bittman), F. Murray Abraham (Judge Sirica), Rich Sommer (Egil “Bud” Krogh), and John Carroll Lynch (John Mitchell).
Here is the official synopsis for the miniseries:
“‘White House Plumbers’ takes the audience behind-the-scenes of the Watergate scandal as Nixon’s political saboteurs, E. Howard Hunt (Woody Harrelson) and G. Gordon Liddy (Justin Theroux), accidentally topple the presidency they were zealously trying to protect… and their families along with it. Chronicling actions on the ground, this satirical drama begins in 1971 when the White House hires Hunt and Liddy, former CIA and FBI, respectively, to investigate the Pentagon Papers leak. After failing upward, the unlikely pair lands on the Committee to Re-Elect the President, plotting several unbelievable covert ops – including bugging the Democratic National Committee offices at the Watergate complex. Proving that history can sometimes be stranger than fiction, ‘White House Plumbers’ sheds light on the lesser-known series of events that led to one of America’s greatest political crimes.”
In other streaming miniseries news, Prime Video has also revealed a new trailer for their upcoming spy drama series Citadel, starring Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra Jonas. The show comes out on April 28 on Prime Video. Check out the new promo here:
Miguel Fernández is a Spanish student that has movies as his second passion in life. His favorite movie of all time is The Lord of the Rings, but he is also a huge Star Wars fan. However, fantasy movies are not his only cup of tea, as authors like Scorsese, Fincher, Kubrick or Hitchcock have been an obsession for him since he started to understand the language of filmmaking. He is that guy who will watch a black and white movie, just because it is in black and white.
