MUMBAI: A brand new series Togetherness is all set to premiere in India just within 24 hours of its US premiere. The new 8 episode series explores deeper issues related to friendship, careers and approaching middle age, celebrating the small, everyday moments of life that feel epic. It is also the TV debut as a writing team of brothers Jay Duplass and Mark Duplass.

Series regulars include writer-director-producer Mark Duplass as Brett Pierson, Melanie Lynskey as Michelle Pierson, Amanda Peet as Tina Morris and Steve Zissis as struggling actor Alex Pappas.

The plot is about Brett and Michelle who are struggling to rekindle the spark in their relationship, which has fiddled out from the hassles of marriage and children. When Brett’s friend, Alex and Michelle’s sister, Tina, move in with them, the foursome engage in a tragically comedic struggle to follow their personal dreams, while still remaining good friends, siblings and spouses to each other.  

Guest stars include Peter Gallagher (The O.C.) as Larry, a movie producer; John Ortiz (HBO’s Luck) as David, a divorced dad campaigning for a charter school; and Mary Steenburgen (Joan of Arcadia) as Linda, a free spirit who takes an interest in helping Brett come out of his shell.

Catch the show from Monday, 12 January 2015 on the exclusively 100% ad-free on HBO Premium Channel, HBO Defined.
