American Classic Trailer and Key Art From MGM+
MGM+ has released the trailer and key art for the heartfelt comedy series American Classic, starring Academy Award-winner Kevin Kline, Academy Award-nominated and Emmy Award-winning actress Laura Linney, and SAG Award-nominated Jon Tenney.
Co-created by Michael Hoffman and Bob Martin, American Classic is about a family full of drama. The eight-episode series will premiere on Sunday, March 1, at 9:00 pm ET/PT, with the first two episodes, followed by weekly releases culminating in the season finale on Sunday, April 12.
American Classic tells the story of Broadway star Richard Bean, who suffers a spectacular public meltdown and returns home to the family theater where he first recognized his own brilliance.
Once there, his extreme behavior sets off a series of crises among those closest to him: his ex-girlfriend (now the town’s mayor), married to his brother, his brother himself, and his beloved niece, who dreams of a life in the theater.
As old loves resurface and buried secrets emerge, Richard must confront the consequences of his past actions and the family and town he left behind in pursuit of fame and glamour. Each season features a different Richard Bean production that reflects the stories unfolding in the lovable but flawed Bean family and the transformative power of making art.
The American Classic cast includes Kevin Kline, Laura Linney, and Jon Tenney. The additional cast includes Len Cariou, Nell Verlaque, Jessica Hecht, Tony Shalhoub, Ajay Friese, Billy Carter, Elise Kibler, Jane Alexander, Stephen Spinella, and Aaron Tveit.
American Classic is co-created by Michael Hoffman and Bob Martin. The series is from FIFTH SEASON with Mar-Key Pictures and Likely Story producing and Anonymous Content.
