How to Watch ‘The Franchise’

About ‘The Franchise’

“The Franchise” is an HBO Original comedy series that follows the crew of an unloved superhero movie fighting for relevance in an unruly cinematic universe. Created by Jon Brown and executive produced by Sam Mendes and Armando Iannucci, the series offers a biting satirical glimpse into the chaotic and often absurd world of franchise superhero movie filmmaking. The cast features Himesh Patel, Aya Cash, Billy Magnussen, and Jessica Hynes, with guest stars like Richard E. Grant and Daniel Brühl. The tone of the show’s trailer has a bit of a “Succession” vibe, so expect sharp humor, industry commentary, and plenty of behind-the-scenes dysfunction.
