TV Preview: Chernobyl

A preview of the new Sky and HBO drama followed by a Q&A with actors Stellan Skarsgård, Jared Harris and Emily Watson, director Johan Renck, and writer Craig Mazin.

Based on real-life catastrophic events, Chernobyl follows the 1986 nuclear accident and the responses of the men and women whose sacrifices saved Europe from further unimaginable disaster.

The five-part mini-series is written and executive produced by Craig Mazin (The Identity Thief, The Huntsman: Winter’s War); directed by Johan Renck (Breaking Bad, Blackstar) and executive produced by Jane Featherstone (Humans, Broadchurch) for Sister Pictures, Carolyn Strauss (Game of Thrones, The Wire) for The Mighty Mint and Gabriel Silver for Sky. Johan Renck and Chris Fry (Humans, The Smoke) co-executive produce and Sanne Wohlenberg (Black Mirror, Wallander) produces.
