Network, the new Broadway drama starring Tony and Olivier Award winner Bryan Cranston, Tatiana Maslany, and Tony Goldwyn, is set to open December 6 at the Belasco Theatre. The hit play from London's National Theatre began New York previews November 10, following a 2017 fall world premiere.

In the play, anchorman Howard Beale (Cranston) struggles to pull in viewers—but when he unravels live on screen in his final broadcast, the ratings soar, and the network seizes on their newfound populist prophet.
