The eight-part HBO limited series production THE NIGHT OF, created by Steven Zaillian ("Schindler's List," "American Gangster") and Richard Price ("The Color of Money," HBO's "The Wire"), will debut this summer, exclusively on HBO. Starring John Turturro ("Fading Gigolo," "O Brother, Where Art Thou?") and Riz Ahmed ("Nightcrawler"), and directed by Steven Zaillian from teleplays by Price and Zaillian, the limited series delves into the intricacies of a complex New York City murder case with cultural and political overtones.

Mark A. Baker ("Damages") produced part 1; Scott Ferguson (HBO's "The Normal Heart") produced parts 2-8. Steven Zaillian directed parts 1-3 and 5-8; James Marsh ("The Theory of Everything") directed part 4.

The limited series' ensemble cast includes Michael Kenneth Williams (HBO's "Boardwalk Empire" and "Bessie"), Bill Camp ("12 Years a Slave," "Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)"), Jeannie Berlin ("Inherent Vice"), Poorna Jagannathan ("Thanks for Sharing"), Payman Maadi ("A Separation"), Glenne Headly ("Don Jon," "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels"), Amara Karan ("The Darjeeling Limited"), Sofia Black-D'Elia ("The Immigrant"), Paul Sparks ("Mud," HBO's "Boardwalk Empire"), Ben Shenkman ("Royal Pains," HBO's "Angels in America"), Afton Williamson (CINEMAX's "Banshee"), Paulo Costanzo ("Road Trip"), Ned Eisenberg ("Last Man Standing"), Mohammad Bakri ("Laila's Birthday"), Nabil Elouahabi ("Zero Dark Thirty"), Ashley Thomas ("The Man Inside"), Glenn Fleshler ("A Most Violent Year"), Chip Zien ("United 93") and Max Casella (HBO's "Vinyl," "Inside Llewyn Davis").

THE NIGHT OF was filmed in and around Manhattan; based on the BBC series "Criminal Justice," created by Peter Moffat.

The film is produced by Filmrights and BBC Worldwide Productions for HBO.
