Alan Ball drama Here and Now premieres on HBO Sunday, Feb. 11, the network said.

The first season has 10 episodes. HBO said the series “offers a provocative, darkly comic meditation on the disparate forces polarizing contemporary America, exploring what it’s like to be an ‘other’ today.”

Tim Robbins and Holly Hunter star.

Ball had a hit on HBO with Six Feet Under. He executive produces alongside Peter Macdissi and David Knoller.

Robbins plays Greg, a respected philosophy professor and author. Hunter plays his wife, Audrey, a former therapist turned conflict-resolution consultant for middle and high schools. Greg and Audrey have three adopted children and a biological daughter.

As Audrey prepares for Greg’s 60th birthday party, “deep cracks begin to appear in the domestic façade,” HBO said.

HBO has tapped Oprah Winfrey to star in its latest biopic, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, the network said Monday.

The film will chronicle the life of Henrietta Lacks, an African-American woman whose cells were used to create the first immortal human cell line in the mid 1950s. The story will be told through the eyes of Lacks' daughter Deborah Lacks, played by Winfrey, who later this summer will star in an upcoming series, Greenleaf, on Winfrey's OWN cable channel.

Winfrey, along with Alan Ball (HBO’s True Blood, Six Feet Under), Peter Macdissi (Cinemax’s Banshee), Carla Gardini (The Hundred-Foot Journey) and Lydia Dean Pilcher (HBO’s You Don’t Know Jack) will serve as executive producers for the movie, said HBO.

Premium network Showtime has renewed the original Alan Ball series Banshee for a fourth season of eight episodes to run in 2016, the network announced.

The Emmy Award-winning drama series -- in 2013 for Outstanding Special Visual Effects in a Supporting Role -- is currently airing its third season. The plot centers around the town of Banshee, Pa., where ex-con and master thief Lucas Hood (Antony Starr) has assumed the identity of the local sheriff; Hood continues his criminal pursuits while enforcing his own code of justice.

Cast members and crew returning for Season 4 will be announced as they are confirmed, Showtime said.

Banshee was created by David Schickler and Jonathan Tropper, who is also an executive producer with Alan Ball (True Blood, Six Feet Under), Greg Yaitanes and Peter Macdissi; Robert F. Phillips is producer.
