David Tennant Set to Star in HBO's Lena Dunham Comedy CAMPING
David Tennant has landed a new TV series gig. The former Doctor Who and Jessica Jones actor has joined HBO's new comedy series Camping. The series comes from Girls duo Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner and it's based on the British format of the same name.
Tennant will join Jennifer Garner who previously signed on to star in the eight-episode limited series. The story revolves around Kathryn (Garner) and Walt (Tennant), who is "Kathryn's obedient husband and loving father, who is the reliable lynchpin of his male social group — but below all that reality lurks a subtle but growing discontent about what he's just signed up for."
The comedy kicks off on Walt's 45th birthday, which was supposed to be a delightful weekend back to nature, at least according to his obsessively organized and aggressively controlling wife, Kathryn. But when the camping trip gathers Kathryn's meek sister, her holier-than-thou ex-best friend and a free-spirited tagalong in one place, it becomes a weekend of tested marriages and woman-on-woman crime that won't soon be forgotten.
Sounds like the kind of fun series that HBO audiences will enjoy. The series has a great leading cast, and these should be great roles for both Garner and Tennant to take on.
