  • Star World Premiere HD to air finale episode of Better Things

    Star World Premiere HD to air finale episode of Better Things

    MUMBAI: Star World Premiere HD is all geared up to premiere the final season of Better Things. The final episode will premiere on this 17 November at 10 pm.

    The series, centered on Sam Fox (Pamela Adlon) – a divorced Hollywood actress who juggles between raising her three daughters and focusing on her professional and personal commitments, captures characters rarely seen on television — single mothers, young girls and middle-aged and elderly women — and depicts them in an authentic, thought-provoking light. Unlike the other moms on television, Adlon’s Sam isn’t just trying to survive. Rather, she is holding on and doing her best and, with the grace that so few of us have, doing it without losing her temper every five or so minutes.

    On the season finale titled as Only Women Bleed, Adlon remarked, “I have favorite moments, but this episode is my favorite because it’s more like a portrait. It doesn’t overly explain, but it really exposes you to this family and how they just get through the day. That scene in the morning, when everyone comes in and out of the house — it’s more like a feeling. You’re watching what Sam has to deal with.”

    The season finale is promised to be an emotional one as it brings out the beauty in the ordinary chaos of life and holds onto the love in a family that often spews hateful things at one another.

When I go back to my hometown, I’m continually reminded that even though we may think differently on some issues, there’s a common humanity there. That’s what we need to continue to seek out in each other, and hopefully ‘Rectify’ has brought that out in some way.”

    The story follows the life of Daniel Holden played by actor Aden Young, a man recently released from death row after serving 19 years for the rape and murder of his high-school girlfriend.

  • ‘Chance’: Star World Premiere HD to telecast Hugh Laurie show

    ‘Chance’: Star World Premiere HD to telecast Hugh Laurie show

    MUMBAI: Star World Premiere HD will telecast psychological thriller ‘Chance’. Adapted from Kem Nunn’s noir-ish psychological thriller novel of the same name, it is also produced by Hugh Laurie who stars along with Diane Farr. The show, directed by Lenny Abrahamson, will air on 21 October at 10 pm.

    Laurie is all set to make his comeback to prime time television with yet another story about a doctor, with a twist. Slated with entropy and darkness, the psychological thriller follows the story of Dr. Eldon Chance, a San Francisco-based forensic neuro-psychiatrist who reluctantly gets sucked into a violent and dangerous world of mistaken identity, police corruption and mental illness.

    Hugh stated, “I honestly don’t see any similarities, maybe because I’ve artificially erected a wall between the two things [in my mind]. Maybe I’m incorrect and it will be a distraction for the audience, but I hope not, because the characters are massively different. Their attitude to life is different; the story that unfolds is infinitely removed from [the world of House].”

    Laurie said, “Underneath there’s a story of passion, love, violence, fear joy, and the profound exploration of what it is to be human. That’s in the first 90 seconds.”

    He further added, “Generally speaking, the older form of television was about the central characters remaining the same while the surrounding characters changed.We’re doing something rather different here, we’re seeing a genuine transformation where characters are unrecognizable from where they started.”

    The show also comprises of Gretchen Mol and Paul Adelstein.

    The next BIG shows find their destination on Star World Premiere HD

    MUMBAI: After the fascinating success of Ryan Murphy’s People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story and HBO’s The Night Of that started their journey on Star World Premiere HD this year, the country’s leading English entertainment channel is now geared up to bring the next set of biggest shows on television! Carefully curated and critically acclaimed, the line-up for the next two months alone is set to get bigger as gifted and accomplished movie makers come together with actors par excellence to create the greatest experience on television yet.

Through this, Star World Premiere HD aims at reinventing the television entertainment genre by introducing the biggest, most awaited, new premieres every night at 10 PM!

    Just like that, the programming line-up for September includes some of the most awaited shows such as Louie C K’s Better Things, Dan Fogelman’s This is Us and from the makers of Oscar winning movie ‘The Revenant’ comes Quarry.

    Kick-starting the line-up is the anticipated hit ‘Quarry’ premiering in India on September 14th at 10 PM.

The show embodies a very real woman in an extremely real world while also throwing in some laughs amidst all the hilarities that life throws at you.

    Next in line is Crazy Stupid Love, Tangled, Galavant and 17 Again fame Dan Fogelman’s upcoming television series ‘This is Us’ premiering on September 24th at 10 PM.

    The October line-up commences with the most kick-ass and awaited premiere of Jonathan Nolan’s Westworld that premieres in India on October 4th at 10 PM. Nolan needs no description and neither do the stars of the show, Anthony Hopkins, Ed Harris, Thandie Netwon, James Marsden, Evan Rachel Wood and more. Based on the 1973 film of the same name, the show, described as a dark odyssey about the dawn of artificial consciousness and the future of sin, tells the story of a futuristic theme park called Westworld.

    Next in line are the premieres of Divorce and Insecure on October 17th at 10 and 10:30 PM respectively. Sarah Jessica Parker who was last seen on television in 2004 and vowed to never work in television again, will be seen marking her big return not only as the lead in the upcoming TV show Divorce but also as the show’s executive producer.

The story of a very, very long divorce, the show follows Frances and Robert as they grapple with the fallout from their failing marriage, not just for themselves, but also for their children and friends, ranging from awkward public encounters to difficult private therapy sessions.

    Meanwhile Insecure is a comedy television show based on Issa Rae’s web series Awkward Black Girl and follows the awkward experiences and racy tribulations of a modern-day African-American woman.

    Jumping the bandwagon for yet another huge premiere this season is Chance that marks Hugh Laurie’s big return to primetime television and will premiere in India on October 21st at 10 PM.
