Jack Black is heading to HBO, folks! The funnyman is starring in a new series titled The Brink, which also stars the likes of Tim Robbins, The Daily Show's Aasif Mandvi, Workaholics own Maribeth Monroe, Orange is the New Black's Pablo Schreiber (yes, Porn Stache!), and many more. The Tenacious D frontman's new series will kick off this coming June 21, welcoming in the summer season.
In the new comedy series, Black stars as Alex Talbot in a "geopolitical crisis and its effect on three disparate, desperate men," according to a recent press release from HBO. Those men include Secretary of State Walter Larson (Robbins), Foreign Service officer Alex Talbot (Black), and Navy fighter pilot Zeke Tilson (Schreiber).
Check out the trailer for the new HBO series below:
The show was created by writers Kim Benabib and Roberto Benabib, the latter of whom was an executive producer on Showtime's Weeds in the past.

The Brink parts Black away from his Tenacious D sidekick Kyle Gass, but the duo are still around, rocking themselves all over the country.
The musical comedy twosome is stopping by the Boston Calling Music Festival this coming May 29. For more dates, head on over to their official site.
