THE KNICKSM
Season One premieres Saturday, August 9 at
7:00 pm on HBO Hits
A brand new series THE KNICK SM is all set to
kick-start on HBO Hits. Set in downtown New
York in 1900, THE KNICKSM is centered around
the 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. It depicts how a newly appointed
brilliant but arrogant renegade Dr. John
Thackery’s addiction to cocaine and opium is
trumped solely by his ambition for medical
discovery. Also, present into this all-white staff
and patient hospital is an equally gifted Dr.
Algernon Edwards fighting for respect while
trying to navigate radically charged city.
Starring Clive Owen (“Children of Men,” HBO’s
“Hemingway & Gellhorn”; Oscar[REGISTERED SIGN] nominee for
“Closer”) and directed by Steven Soderbergh
(“Side Effects”; Oscar[REGISTERED SIGN] winner for “Traffic”;
Emmy[REGISTERED SIGN] winner for HBO’s “Behind the
Candelabra”), THE KNICKSM kicks off its ten-
episode season on Saturday AUG. 9 at 7 pm,
exclusively on HBO Hits, followed by other
episodes debuting on subsequent Saturdays at

fed up with Jonah’s antics, his uncle sends him
back to Sydney to enroll in yet another school,
the Holy Cross School. Once again, the always
impressionable Jonah finds himself adapting to
a new school and fending off new foes and
other delinquents, all while trying to be a
“good boy.”

starred in the title role of the new show, which
premieres on Saturday AUG. 9 at 8 pm,
exclusively on HBO Defined, followed by other
episodes debuting subsequent on Saturdays at
