HBO Max has today announced the premiere date for the upcoming original limited series It's a Sin created by Russell T Davis (A Very English Scandal, Years and Years).
All five episodes of the limited series will be available on Thursday, February 18.
Set in 1981, Ritchie, Roscoe and Colin are young lads, strangers at first, leaving home at 18 and heading off to London with hope and ambition and joy... and walking straight into a virus that most of the world ignores. Year by year, episode by episode, crossing the whole decade, their lives change as the mystery of that illness starts as a rumor, then a threat, then a terror, and then something that binds them together in the fight.
The series stars Olly Alexander, Omari Douglas, Callum Scott Howells, Lydia West, Nathaniel Curtis, Shaun Dooley, Keeley Hawes, Tracy Ann Oberman, Stephen Fry and Neil Patrick Harris.
Davies executive produces with Nicola Shindler and director Peter Hoar. RED Production Company produces in association with HBO Max and Channel 4.
