Aaron Sorkin, the cast of “The West Wing” and director Thomas Schlamme are reuniting for a stage performance of Season 3 episode “Hartfield’s Landing.” The special, which will benefit the Michelle Obama co-chaired nonprofit When We All Vote, will air this fall on HBO Max ahead of the 2020 U.S. presidential election.
“Tommy and I are incredibly excited to be getting ‘The West Wing’ cast back together for this staged reading and to support When We All Vote in their efforts to get all of us involved in this election,” Aaron Sorkin said.
“With ‘A West Wing Special to Benefit When We All Vote,’ we are excited to revisit this legendary series and offer our passionate fans something that is substantial, meaningful and unforgettable, while also promoting an important message for our time,” said Sarah Aubrey, head of original content, HBO Max.
