The Newsroom with Jeff Daniels as news anchor Will McAvoy, is set behind the scenes at the fictitious ACN 24-hour TV news channel and the daily primetime news show News Night.
It interestingly and co-incidentally shares its name with the real-life primetime news show News Night on South Africa's most watched 24-hour TV news channel, eNCA (DStv 403).
"The Newsroom is classic Aaron Sorkin – smart, riveting and thought-provoking," says Michael Lombardo, HBO programming president. "I'm sure this farewell season will be one to remember."
