Joshua Jackson's HBO Max Series 'How to Survive Without Me' Promises Sex, Drugs, and Rock 'n' Roll

Joshua Jackson is returning to television in the upcoming HBO Max series 'How to Survive Without Me,' a dramedy about a family navigating life six months after the death of their matriarch, Beverly. Co-created by Greg Berlanti, Robbie Rogers, and Bash Doran, the show explores how each family member copes with grief in their own chaotic way. Jackson, who stars and executive produces, describes the tone as 'sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll,' adding with a laugh that he's 'getting too old for this s—.' The series marks a reunion for Jackson with Berlanti, who created 'Dawson's Creek,' the show that launched Jackson to fame. For fans of Jackson's earlier work and viewers seeking a blend of humor and heartbreak, 'How to Survive Without Me' promises a raw, relatable look at family dysfunction and resilience. The show's ensemble cast and Berlanti's track record for character-driven storytelling suggest it could become a standout addition to HBO Max's lineup.
