The Newsroom Season 2: Aaron Sorkin HBO Drama Features Lawsuits, Arrests, More, Premieres Sunday Night

Season 2 of the Aaron Sorkin HBO drama "The Newsroom" premieres Sunday night and some news has surfaced about the upcoming episodes.

Matt Webb Mitovich had the following info in this week's "Matt's Inside Line" column at TVLine:

"Do you have any scoop on what The Newsroom will bring us when it returns? -Erica

We now go to TVLine's Kim Roots, live on the screener-watching scene! 'The Tea Party hasn't forgotten about the 'American Taliban' comment Will made in last season's finale, and ACN takes a few major hits because of it,' Roots reports. 'But that's nothing compared to the huge trouble the network - and News Night, in particular - are in as the season opens. Elsewhere: Maggie's got a terrible new haircut (with an even more terrible story behind it), a NewsNight staffer gets arrested, Marcia Gay Harden is a lot of fun as a sharp-dressed attorney, Jim spends a lot of time on a bus with Grace Gummer (Smash) and we finally find out exactly what Will said in the rest of his stoned voicemail to Mackenzie.' Thanks, Kim!"

In the Season 1 finale, anchor Will McAvoy (Jeff Daniels) referred to the Tea Party as "The American Taliban." That comment apparently lands him in some hot water in Season 2 as this trailer focuses heavily on the fallout from that broadcast, which in show time occurred 14 months earlier.

Show newcomer Marcia Gay Harden asks McAvoy at the beginning of the trailer what happened after that broadcast and he simply replies, "A lot."
