Today, HBO announced the premiere date of its latest comedy series, Getting On, from Mark Olsen and Will Scheffer, the creators of Big Love. The series begins Sunday, November 24 at 10:00 pm ET/PT, and is based on the hit British series of the same name.
The show is set in the women’s extended-care of a Long Beach hospital and follows the daily lives of put-upon nurses and doctors as they struggle with the darkly comic realities of caring for the elderly in an overwhelmed healthcare system. Laurie Metcalf, Alex Borstein, Niecy Nash and Mel Rodriguez star; guests stars include Molly Shannon, Daniel Stern, Harry Dean Stanton, June Squibb and Irma P. Hall.
The debut of Getting On will be followed immediately by the previously announced debut of the new HBO comedy series Ja’mie: Private School Girl, starring Chris Lilley.
