Ewan McGregor has joined Chris Cooper and Dianne Wiest in new HBO drama, The Corrections.
The drama revolves around the troubles of a Midwestern couple and their three adult children as they trace their lives from the mid-20th century to “one last Christmas” together near the turn of the millennium. The actor will play Chip, the middle child, a Marxist academic who lost his tenure-track position over an affair with a student and now works for a Lithuanian crime boss defrauding American investors.
Noah Baumbach co-wrote and is set to direct the pilot, with Jonathan Franzen helping write the script. The series is based on a Jonathan Franzen book.
