COMEDY SERIES HIGH MAINTENANCE, CREATED BY KATJA BLICHFELD AND BEN SINCLAIR, DEBUTS SEPT. 16 ON HBO

Providing a glimpse into the homes and routines of eccentric New Yorkers, the comedy series HIGH MAINTENANCE explores the private lives of these unique individuals through a common thread: their weed deliveryman. Ben Sinclair stars as The Guy, whose client base includes a group of characters with neuroses as diverse as the city.

Each episode features multiple stories exploring the inner workings of people from all walks of life, told fly-on-the-wall style through the series’ patented brand of offbeat humor and pathos, revealing a city full of strangers united by the perennial pursuit of life’s greatest highs. The hit web series comes to HBO with six new half-hour episodes starting FRIDAY, SEPT. 16 (11:00-11:35 p.m. ET/PT), followed by other episodes subsequent Fridays at the same time, exclusively on HBO.

HIGH MAINTENANCE was created by the married duo of Katja Blichfeld (Emmy®-winning
casting director of “30 Rock”) and Ben Sinclair (“Sisters,” “The Big C”), who write and direct every episode of the new season, and executive produced by Katja Blichfeld, Ben Sinclair and Russell Gregory.

“We have been growing this show organically for three years now, and we are elated to bring it into full maturity at HBO, the gold standard of both online and televised entertainment,” say Blichfeld and Sinclair.

The new episodes of HIGH MAINTENANCE will also be available on HBO NOW, HBO GO and HBO On Demand. The 19 webisodes that were originally presented on Vimeo will be available on HBO GO, HBO NOW and HBO On Demand beginning Sept. 1, and on HBO Comedy starting Sept. 12.
