Togetherness Season 1 February Episode Guide
The cast of HBO’s ‘Togetherness’

HBO’s new series Togetherness will be airing three new episodes of its eight-episode first season run in February 2015. And the network’s just released the details on what fans of the new series created by Jay Duplass, Mark Duplass, and Steve Zissis can expect from episodes four, five, and six.

The Plot:

Brett and Michelle are struggling to rekindle the spark in their relationship, which has puttered out from the stresses of marriage and children. When Brett’s friend Alex and Michelle’s sister, Tina, move in with them, the foursome engage in a tragically comedic struggle to follow their personal dreams, while still remaining good friends, siblings and spouses to each other.

Series regulars include writer-director-producer Mark Duplass as Brett Pierson, a straitlaced sound designer trying to rediscover himself as he nears his 40s; Melanie Lynskey as Michelle Pierson, eager to rekindle her passion for romance and life; Amanda Peet as Tina Morris, desperate to get her bouncy-castle business off the ground while looking for a husband; and Steve Zissis as struggling actor Alex Pappas, who nearly leaves town but is convinced by Brett to give his career one last try. Guest stars include Peter Gallagher as Larry, a movie producer; John Ortiz as David, a divorced dad campaigning for a charter school; and Mary Steenburgen as Linda, a free spirit who takes an interest in helping Brett come out of his shell.
