14 DAY TRIAL // Jon Snow, the one who knew nothing, may have died on the season 5 finale of “Game of Thrones,” but HBO is giving him a new lease on life with a new comedy. Well, sort of.
Kit Harington, the actor playing the latest GoT victim, stars as one of the two leads in a new HBO comedy airing on July 11. It’s called “7 Days in Hell” and also stars Andy Samberg, and a very impressive supporting cast, as shown in the first trailer below.
The 45-minute comedy is directed by Jake Szymanski and tells the story of the most epic match in tennis history, between the “bad boy of tennis” (Samberg), Serena Williams’ adopted brother, and a handsome but rather stupid player from the UK.
Based on the first trailer, there will be no holding back on joke material, whether it’s casual encounters in public with random streakers to the Queen flipping the bird on Samberg for trying to prevent her favorite (Harington) from winning.
Speaking of the Queen, she’s played by June Squibb. Supporting actors include Michael Sheen, Karen Gillan, Lena Dunham, Will Forte, Mary Steenburgen and Fred Armisen, with appearances by David Copperfield, John McEnroe, Chris Evert and Serena Williams.
Here’s the trailer, enjoy.
