SINGAPORE, FEBRUARY 6, 2017 – A remarkable line up of HBO Original drama and comedy series will premiere soon in Asia exclusively on HBO. They include two brand-new HBO Original series – BIG LITTLE LIES and CRASHING premiering same time as the U.S. on Monday, February 20 at 10am and 11.30am respectively with a same day primetime encore, and the final seasons of GIRLS, which debuts on Monday, February 13 at 10pm, and THE LEFTOVERS airing same time as the U.S. on Monday, April 17 at 9am.

Based on the New York Times number-one bestseller of the same name, the seven-episode limited drama series, BIG LITTLE LIES, is directed by Jean-Marc Vallée (Dallas Buyers Club) and stars a stellar cast including Oscar® and Golden Globe winner Reese Witherspoon, Golden Globe winner Nicole Kidman, Golden Globe nominee Shailene Woodley, Golden Globe winner Laura Dern, Zoë Kravitz, Alexander Skarsgård and Adam Scott. Told through the eyes of three mothers, BIG LITTLE LIES paints a picture of a town fuelled by rumours and divided into the haves and have-nots, exposing the conflicts, secrets and betrayals that compromise relationships between husbands and wives, parents and children, and friends and neighbours.

The brand-new eight-episode HBO Original comedy series CRASHING, is executive produced by Judd Apatow and created by and stars Pete Holmes as Pete, a sheltered suburbanite who married his childhood sweetheart and dreams of making it as a stand-up comedian. But when he finds out his wife is cheating on him, Pete’s world unravels, forcing him to re-evaluate his priorities and plunging him into the deep end of the rough-and-tumble New York comedy scene.

Created by and starring Lena Dunham, the Emmy®-winning HBO comedy series GIRLS returns for its sixth and final season. Enjoying new success as a writer after participating in “The Moth,” Hannah gets an assignment that could change her life. Divorced from Desi, Marnie seeks to remain independent, but her self-absorption could undermine a budding relationship with Ray. New couple, Jessa and Adam, embarks on a creative project that could become a source of contention. Shoshanna flourishes at a marketing agency, but realises her friendships may be holding her back.

The new and final season of the eight-episode drama series THE LEFTOVERS stars Justin Theroux, Carrie Coon, Amy Brenneman, Kevin Carroll, Christopher Eccleston, Scott Glenn and Liv Tyler. Created by Damon Lindelof and Tom Perrotta, the Peabody Award-winning show finds the Garvey and Murphy families coming together as they desperately grasp for a system of belief to help better explain that which defies explanation. The world is crackling with the energy of something big about to happen, a corresponding bookend to the Sudden Departure that sent them all spinning years earlier, bringing their journey Down Under.
