Mark your calendars for Sunday, June 24. That’s the day when Aaron Sorkin gets back into the TV series business with The Newsroom on HBO. The series is set behind the scenes at the fictional Atlantis Cable News (ACN) and centers around anchor Will (Jeff Daniels), his new executive producer Mackenzie MacHale (Emily Mortimer), newsroom staff Maggie (Alison Pill), Jim (John Gallagher, Jr.), Sloan (Olivia Munn), Neal (Dev Patel), Don (Thomas Sadoski), and their boss Charlie Skinner (Sam Waterston). Jane Fonda will also appear on a recurring basis as Leona Lansing, the CEO of Atlantis World Media, the parent company of ACN. Natalie Morales, a favorite actor here at Pop Culture Zoo, is also set to guest-star in an unknown number of episodes as Neal’s girlfriend. This is Sorkin’s first TV project since Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, which aired during the 2006-2007 broadcast season. Stay tuned to Pop Culture Zoo for more on this highly anticipated new series!
