What Time Does ‘The Plot Against America’ Premiere on HBO?

HBO’s The Plot Against America is a searing look at what would have happened had famed aviator Charles Lindbergh challenged Franklin Delano Roosevelt for the presidency in 1940 and won. This alternate history is seen not through the eyes of a heroic spy or high-ranking official. Instead, The Plot Against America looks at how this turn would affect one young Jewish boy and his family in Newark, New Jersey.

The Plot Against America is based on Philip Roth’s speculative novel of the same name in which he imagines how his own childhood would have changed if a Fascist anti-Semite like Lindbergh has been in charge of the USA during World War II. The series was adapted by David Simon and Ed Burns and stars the likes of Winona Ryder, Zoe Kazan, Morgan Spector, and Anthony Boyle as young Philip’s relatives and mentors. Gripping, tense, and terrifying, The Plot Against America is just the latest must-watch limited series to make its way to HBO’s Monday night lineup.
