Susan Sarandon is reuniting with big-screen co-star Nick Nolte for a TV political satire.
The Epix premium channel said Sarandon will play a former first lady opposite Nolte’s ex-U.S. president in the half-hour series titled “Graves.”
It’s set to debut in August 2016, which will coincide with the final months of the real-world American presidential campaign.
In “Graves,” Sarandon’s character decides to fulfill her own political ambitions as her husband begins an unlikely effort to right his administration’s wrongs, Epix said.
