Yeah, we know. It seems a lot like ‘HBO Day’ around here. Well, what can we say, we like a lot of the shows on HBO. Sue us.

One of those shows we like, no surprise, is The Newsroom. Created by Aaron Sorkin, this show has it all: compelling characters and storylines, suspense, drama, humor and all that snappy Sorkin dialog we’ve come to know and love.

In the new season, the staff of “News Night” chases a mysterious tip, which leads to a story that ultimately spins out of control. And with the second season With season about to debut, the folks at HBO have sent us some videos to get things started off and to help get you ready. Check them out after the break.

The Newsroom, which stars Jeff Daniels, Emily Mortimer, Sam Waterston, John Gallagher, Jr., Alison Pill, Thomas Sadoski, Olivia Munn and Dev Patel returns to HBO on July 14th.

Great news today from HBO Sorkin fans as the network has announced the return date for his show The Newsroom. Fortunately, our suspicions about the show’s future were unfounded and the date of July 14th will se the show back where it belongs.

Heck, we will admit we were a bit skeptical when the cast for this show was first announced. Jeff Daniels as the conflicted but crusading anchor of a cable news show that suddenly finds a conscience? The guy from Dumb and Dumber? Okay. And let’s not get started on Olivia Munn.

Fortunately, our reservations about Mr. Daniels were completely unfounded and even Munn has started to grow on us, a little. The most important take-away here is that if you not currently watching Sorkin’s The Newsroom, you should be. And now you’ll get a chance when July 24th comes around.

In addition to Daniels and Munn, the show stars Emily Mortimer, Sam Waterston, Alison Pill and Terry Chimes. Jane Fonda also appeared in several episodes of the first season, but try not to let that put you off the show. It’s actually quite good casting, truth be told.

It’s nice to see Sorkin back where he belongs, on a network where ratings are less important and he can pretty much say what he wants. Can’t wait.

Aaron Sorkin’s TV work has been fabulous. Obviously The West Wing is his shining achievement, but I like to think his best work was SportsNight. A behind the scenes look at a SportsCenter type show at the hight of ESPN’s flagship program’s popularity.

So when HBO decided to run with a show that had a very similar structure penned by Sorkin you can imagine my excitement. The Newsroom replaces the more laid back and goofy environment of a cable sports program and replaces it with the far more juicy cable news program, sounds like a winner of an idea:

The Newsroom,  a behind-the-scenes look at the people who make a nightly cable-news program. Focusing on a network anchor (played by Jeff Daniels), his new executive producer (Emily Mortimer), the newsroom staff (John Gallagher, Jr., Alison Pill, Thomas Sadoski, Olivia Munn, Dev Patel) and their boss (Sam Waterston), the series tracks their quixotic mission to do the news well in the face of corporate and commercial obstacles-not to mention their own personal entanglements.

In case people were still on the fence, HBO has just released a new promo that really hammers home the Sorkin feel for the characters. The cast is impeccable, the concept is rock solid, and the promise of rich, well-written characters seems to have been realized. The checklist looks to be complete for another stellar show.

The show premieres June 24th on HBO and you can check out the new trailer after the jump.

We’ve been following Aaron Sorkin’s career since the days of A Few Good Men and Sport Night. Loved that show. Then, of course, he went on to create The West Wing and later win the Academy Award for writing The Social Network.

Now he’s back on TV, at HBO this time around, and preparing to launch a new show called The Newsroom. We brought you the first trailer for the show recently and now, there’s a brand new one we want to share with you today.

In it we get to know the band of optimists and crusaders that will make up the new show and see a bit more of the ironic humor Sorkin is famous for. Sure, some of you may think this looks an awful lot like Sorkin’s Sports Night.

Even if it does have quite a few similarities, that isn’t a bad thing because, as we said above, Sports Night was a pretty great show that we loved. So, let’s just think of this one as Sports Night 2.0 with swearing and the potential for nudity and sex.

Not a bad threesome. Not at all. Check out the trailer after the break. The Newsroom premieres on HBO in June.

Let’s start this particular post by admitting Aaron Sorkin is one of my favorite writers. His previous shows, The West Wing, Sports Night and Studio 60 showed how TV is supposed to be written and produced. He’s also done pretty well writing movies including the recent Acadamy Award winner The Social Network.

Now, Sorkin has gone back to TV and landed where he probably should have been all along: HBO. His new show is called The Newsroom and HBO has released a new trailer for it.

The show stars Jeff Daniels as a cable news anchor Will McAvoy who decides to try telling it like it is instead of how his superiors want him to. In short, he’s mad as hell and he’s not going to take it anymore. Look it up.

Around Daniels’ character is an ensamble team including his new executive producer (Emily Mortimer), his newsroom staff (Alison Pill, John Gallagher Jr, Olivia Munn, Dev Patel, Thomas Sadoski), and their boss (Sam Waterston). Jane Fonda is also in the show and yes, I did say Olivia Munn. Guess she’s there to help get the gaming fanboy viewers? I don’t get it either.

Anyway, check out the trailer after the break. Look for The Newsroom to premiere later this year on HBO.

If you’re as big a fan of writer/genius Aaron Sorkin as we are here at The Flickcast, this news will make you very happy. HBO has picked up Aaron Sorkin’s hourlong cable news network pilot and will take it to series.

In case you haven’t been following the developments of this show, it is as yet untitled (but used to be called More As This Story Develops) and centers on a cable news anchor (Jeff Daniels), his new executive producer (Emily Mortimer), his newsroom staff (Alison Pill, John Gallagher Jr, Olivia Munn, Dev Patel, Thomas Sadoski), and their boss (Sam Waterston).

In true Sorkin fashion this ragtag team of individuals gradually comes together as they explore the world and the news taking place around the, and, in some cases, right in front of them. The number of episodes is yet to be determined but it is generally believed to be at least 10.

This is great news but not really that surprising. Sorkin is a well known commodity and coming off an Oscar win for The Social Network so it’s not hard to believe HBO would be interested in working with him.

It’s also a great deal for Sorkin as well as he can finally have a series on a newtork where ratings are not all that important. Sems like a good fit and we can’t wait to see the show.
