Martin Sheen, Allison Janey and Rob Lowe will reunite for a special episode of 'The West Wing"

Source: Dayton Daily News

The cast of “The West Wing” — including Dayton’s own Martin Sheen, Allison Janey and Rob Lowe — will reunite for the first time in 17 years for a theatrical presentation of an episode of the political drama.

“A West Wing Special to Benefit When We All Vote” will stream on HBO Max this fall with the goal of boosting voter turnout, according to national entertainment publications including Entertainment Weekly and Variety. A date to air has not been determined.

Actors Dule Hill, Janel Moloney, Richard Schiff and Bradley Whitford will join the Daytonians for a theatrical staging of “Hartsfield’s Landing,” an episode from the show’s third season.

Aaron Sorkin, who created the series, will write original material for the event, according to Variety, and it will be shot in October at the Orpheum Theater in Los Angeles.

West Wing is leaving Netflix for HBO, and this appears to be the first such episode.

(I'll be able to watch it, as I have HBO due to my DirecTV.)

The contrast between sitcom that is The Trump Show and how working government should function will open some eyes.

One can only see it if they have for-pay TV service.

That means I can't see it. Pay TV is a luxury in this household

I hope Sorkin's "original material" rips the trump administration a new asshole. Sorkin is certainly capable of doing it, even if the play is set in the past.

"West Wing" may be the only TV series in my long lifetime that I watched every minute of. Didn't miss a single episode.
