Airdate: The Brink

New HBO comedy series The Brink makes its Australian debut in mid-July.

Featuring Tim Robbins, Jack Black and Pablo Schreiber, the first season focuses on a geopolitical crisis in Pakistan.

This premiered in the US earlier this week.

The half-hour dark comedy series focuses on a geopolitical crisis and its effect on three disparate and desperate men: Walter Larson (Tim Robbins), the US Secretary of State; Alex Talbot (Jack Black), a lowly Foreign Service officer; and Zeke Tilson (Pablo Schreiber), an ace Navy fighter pilot. These three compromised souls must pull through the chaos around them to save the planet from World War Three. The show also features Aasif Mandvi, Maribeth Monroe, Carla Gugino and Eric Ladin.

Tuesday July 7 at 7.30pm on Showcase.
