HBO just released the premiere date for Alan Ball's ("True Blood," "Six Feet Under") new drama series "Here and Now," which launches its 10-episode first season on Sunday, February 11 from 9 to 10 p.m. ET/PT.
Here's the breakdown from HBO:
"From Oscar and Emmy winner Alan Ball, and starring Oscar and Golden Globe winner Tim Robbins and Oscar, Emmy and Golden Globe winner Holly Hunter, the show is a provocative and darkly comic meditation on the disparate forces polarizing present-day American culture, as experienced by the members of a progressive multi-ethnic family – a philosophy professor and his wife, their adopted children from Vietnam, Liberia and Colombia, and their sole biological child – and a contemporary Muslim family, headed by a psychiatrist who is treating one of their children.
Jerrika Hinton, Daniel Zovatto, Raymond Lee, Sosie Bacon, Andy Bean, Joe Williamson and Peter Macdissi also star.
HERE AND NOW is executive produced by Alan Ball, Peter Macdissi, and David Knoller."
Watch the first trailer:According to Deadline, Lee plas Duc, "a successful life coach, adopted from Vietnam when he was five. A powerhouse and overachiever, he has ambitions to become a motivational guru on the scale of Tony Robbins. But his ambition masks a painful past that he has never really faced."
Hinton -- who left "Grey's Anatomy" at the end of Season 13 -- plays Ashley, "creator and owner of a retail fashion website, wife and mother of a 4-year-old who was born in America to Somalian refugees, adopted when her mother died and her father was deported. Ashley now finds herself feeling part of neither the white or the black experience, and her perfect life is beginning to fray."
Zovatto plays Ramon, "who was adopted from an orphanage in Colombia at 18 months and now is in his final year of college, studying video game design. Sensitive and appealing, his life is turned upside down when he begins to have hallucinations that cannot be explained."
Bacon -- daughter of Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick -- picks up her first series regular role as Kristen, the only biological child of her parents. "A junior in high school, she always has felt somehow lesser than her exotic international siblings. She's determined to find something — anything — to define herself as something other than 'just the pasty white chick' of the family."
Meet the whole family on February 11, 2018.
