HBO Canada presents the new ten-episode original drama series “The Knick,” a Cinemax series directed by Academy Award and Emmy Award winner Steven Soderbergh (HBO’S “Behind the Candelabra”) and stars Academy Award and Emmy Award nominee Clive Owen (HBO’s “Hemingway & Gellhorn”).
Set in downtown New York in 1900, “The Knick” centers on Knickerbocker Hospital and the groundbreaking surgeons, nurses, and staff, who push the bounds of medicine in a time of astonishingly high mortality rates and zero antibiotics.
The ensemble cast of “The Knick” includes Andre Holland (“1600 Penn”) as Dr. Algernon Edwards; Jeremy Bobb (“House of Cards”) as Herman Barrow; Juliet Rylance (“Days And Nights”) as Cornelia Robertson; and Michael Angarano (“The English Teacher”) as Dr. Bertram ‘Bertie’ Chickering Jr..
The writing team of Jack Amiel and Michael Begler (“Raising Helen,” “Big Miracle”) serve as executive producers of “The Knick,” along with Soderbergh, Owen, Michael Sugar (“The Fifth Estate”), and Gregory Jacobs (HBO’S “Behind the Candelabra”).
“The Knick” begins on Friday, August 8th at 11pm.
