Star World Premiere Miniseries of the Month kick-starts with Al Pacino and Meryl Streep starrer ‘Angels in America!’

Star World Premiere HD, India’s leading English Entertainment channel strives to provide its audiences with the best, most illustrious and critically acclaimed content on Indian television. Taking this initiative a step further, the channel is now geared up to premiere, in India, its distinctive monthly property, Star World Premiere HD Miniseries of the Month. With the 61 prestigious award-winning, Meryl Streep and Al Pacino starrer miniseries, the channel will kick-start its exclusive lineup with Angels in America that will air on Saturday and Sunday, August 6th & 7th, 7 PM onwards.  

A brilliant adaptation of Tony Kushner's Pulitzer Prize winning play, Angels in America was modified for television and directed by Academy Award nominee and Golden Globe winner Mike Nichols, renowned for directing movies such as The Graduate, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and more. The miniseries revolves around social, sexual, religious and other issues being faced by America in 1980s, predominantly the LGBT tension at a time when AIDS crisis was clasping the nation. It follows story plots for numerous characters, who, at first sight, have nothing to do with each other but are all connected by their ideology and experiences, unified by an overarching theme on gay rights at a time when gay rights were given little to no importance in the society. The miniseries, like the play, culminates in a cry for the community to not give up or disappear.

Not only did the play win the Pulitzer Prize but the miniseries itself won 61 notable awards and 42 other nominations including prestigious awards like the Emmys and Golden Globes. The show broke the record previously held by Roots for the most Emmys awarded to a program in a single year by winning a whopping 11 awards including Outstanding Miniseries, Direction, Lead Actor, Actress, Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress, Casting and many more.

So, tune-in to Angels in America on Saturday and Sunday, August 6th and 7th, from 7 PM onwards on Star World Premiere HD and catch the most gripping performances ever played by talent powerhouses Al Pacino, Meryl Streep and Emma Thompson!
