FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE "A SHOW FOR OUR TIME" - TIME From Oscar- and Emmy-Winner Alan Ball, Starring Tim Robbins and Holly Hunter HERE AND NOW Available on DVD August 7 New York, N.Y., May 4th, 2018 - Creator and executive producer Alan Ball (True Blood and Six Feet Under) brings an "engaging and provocative" (Newsday) exploration of America through the eyes of a multiracial family in Here and Now, arriving on DVD on August 7, 2018. Starring Oscar-winners Tim Robbins (Mystic River) and Holly Hunter (The Piano), the new HBO drama offers a darkly comic meditation on complicated forces at work during contemporary times, exploring what it's like to be an "other" in today's America. Here and Now follows the Bayer-Boatwrights, a progressive, suburban family led by philosophy profesor, Greg (Robbins), and conflict-resolution consultant, Aubrey (Hunter), in Portland, Oregon. They're a Caucasian couple with three now-grown adopted children from Liberia, Vietnam, and Colombia, as well as one teenage biological daughter. Although the Bayer-Boatwrights are materially rich, each member lacks happiness or fulfillment behind a seemingly perfect façade. Jerrika Hinton, Daniel Zovatto, Raymond Lee, Andy Bean, Sosie Bacon, and Joe Williamson also star in the series, which is also executive produced by Peter Macdissi, and David Knoller.
