Miami, FL – June 21, 2016 – The Night Of, the new limited drama series, debuts on HBO on July 10th at 21hrs. Starring John Turturro and Riz Ahmed, the series is divided into eight parts that will premiere in the Caribbean, simultaneously with the United States.

The Night Of tells the story of Nasir, “Naz” Khan, a Pakistani-American college student who lives with his parents in Queens, New York. When he takes his father’s taxi to go to a party in Manhattan, what starts out as a perfect night, becomes a nightmare when he is arrested for the murder of a girl he just met. The story examines the police investigation, the legal proceedings, the criminal justice system and Rikers Island, the prison where the accused await trial.
In addition to Turturro and Ahmed, The Night Of includes performances by Poorna Jagannathan, Amara Karan, Mohammad Bakri, Nabil Elouahabi, Ashley Thomas, Glenn Fleshler, Chip Zien and Max Casella.
