STATE OF THE UNION, SUNDANCETV'S MULTI-EMMY(R) AWARD-WINNING SHORT FORM ANTHOLOGY SERIES, RETURNS FEBRUARY 14

BRENDAN GLEESON, PATRICIA CLARKSON AND ESCO JOULÉY LEAD NEW SEASON FROM SEE-SAW FILMS

New episodes of the 10-minute per episode drama to debut across 10 nights on SundanceTV and as binge premiere on Sundance Now and AMC+

NEW YORK/LOS ANGELES - December 15, 2021 - SundanceTV today announced that the second installment of the multiple Emmy(R) Award-winning anthology drama, State of the Union, starring Brendan Gleeson (The Tragedy of Macbeth, In Bruges), Patricia Clarkson (Sharp Objects) and Esco Jouléy (High Maintenance), will premiere on Monday, February 14 on SundanceTV, Sundance Now and AMC+. The groundbreaking short form series will unfold across 10 episodes, each 10 minutes in length, over 10 nights starting February 14 at 10:00 pm E.T./9c on SundanceTV. All episodes will also premiere as a full season binge on AMC Networks' streaming services Sundance Now and AMC+.

State of the Union will see the return of award-winning writer/director duo Nick Hornby (Brooklyn, An Education) and Stephen Frears (The Queen, A Very English Scandal) as they continue to cleverly explore relationships and the human experience. In this season, liberal campaigning Ellen (Clarkson) drags her traditional, self-made husband Scott (Gleeson) out of his comfort zone and into a hipster Connecticut coffee shop, where they have 10 minutes before their marriage counselling session to drink a coffee, gather their thoughts and argue about everything from Quakerism to pronouns. Each week, between the bickering, they begin to piece together what has gone wrong between them. As the weeks go by, they start to deconstruct their 30-year marriage. Past betrayals are aired, their sex life is re-examined, and their vulnerabilities are finally shared. By the end of 10 weeks of marital counselling, they're not the same couple they used to be, but is making a change enough to save their marriage, or should they walk away?

The first season of State of the Union starred Oscar(R) nominee Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl, A Private War) and Emmy(R) winner Chris O'Dowd (Bridesmaids, Get Shorty) in an innovative look at a couple who meet for drinks ahead of their weekly marriage counseling appointments. State of the Union received three Emmy(R) Awards: Short Form Comedy or Drama Series, Actress in a Short Form Comedy or Drama (Pike) and Actor in a Short Form Comedy or Drama (O'Dowd).

A See-Saw Films production. Jamie Laurenson, Hakan Kousetta, Iain Canning, and Emile Sherman are executive producers along with Hornby and Frears, with Sophie Reynolds producing the series for See-Saw Films. Kristin Jones, EVP of international programming for AMC and SundanceTV, is the executive in charge for SundanceTV. Endeavor Content is handling international sales.
