Emmy(R)- and WGA Award-winning comedian and writer Wyatt Cenac will star in a topical ten-episode series slated to debut on HBO next spring. Executive producers on the series will include Cenac, Ezra Edelman (the Oscar(R)-winning O.J.: Made in America), John Oliver (HBO's Emmy(R)-winning Last Week Tonight with John Oliver) and Hallie Haglund (Emmy(R) winner for The Daily Show), who will also be the head writer. Diane Fitzgerald (Emmy(R) winner for Last Week Tonight with John Oliver) will be co-executive producer on the show, which will be produced for HBO by Avalon Television. The half-hour late-night docu-series will take a satirical look at social and cultural issues from Cenac's unique perspective. Rather than sit behind a desk, he will undertake a journey to understand some of the big issues of the moment and investigate real-world solutions.
