Ben Stiller has been set to lead the dramedy series ‘The Band’ at HBO. The series is said to be set on the music industry.
The series offers an inside look at the music industry centred on Oscar (Stiller), a pop impresario and talent mogul beset by scandal who is tasked with forming a new act in order to save his career – and perhaps his soul.
