HBO joins forces with media company Axios for a limited documentary series of news-oriented specials. Directed and produced by Emmy winner Matthew O'Neill ("Baghdad ER") and Perri Peltz ("Warning: This Drug May Kill You"), the series highlights current political, business and technology news, plus topics shaping the future. Each episode includes coverage of a timely issue, followed by exclusive interviews and short profiles to help viewers better understand big trends affecting America and the world. Co-founded in 2016 by Mike Allen, Jim VandeHei and Roy Schwartz, Axios -- taken from the Greek word for "worthy" -- is known for a mix of exclusive news and insight delivered with brevity and in a distinctly sharable format.
