The official trailer and key art for Showtime’s The Comey Rule is here!

The upcoming limited series stars Jeff Daniels and Brendan Gleeson in the roles of James Comey and Donald Trump.

According to Showtime’s release, The Comey Rule “is an immersive, behind-the-headlines account of the historically turbulent events surrounding the 2016 presidential election and its aftermath, which divided a nation.”

“Rather than a biopic of one man, the series tells the story of two powerful figures, Comey and Trump, whose strikingly different personalities, ethics and loyalties put them on a collision course.”

The Comey Rule also stars Holly Hunter as former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates, Michael Kelly as former FBI Director Andrew McCabe, Jennifer Ehle as Patrice Comey, Scoot McNairy as former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, Jonathan Banks as former National Intelligence Director James Clapper, Oona Chaplin as former FBI lawyer Lisa Page, Amy Seimetz as former FBI lawyer Trisha Anderson, Steven Pasquale as former FBI agent Peter Strzok, Peter Coyote as Robert Mueller, and Kingsley Ben-Adir as President Barack Obama.

The Comey Rule will premiere on Sunday, September 27.

Showtime has released the first teaser trailer for The Comey Rule starring Jeff Daniels and Brendan Gleeson!

In the upcoming TV adaption of James Comey‘s 2018 book A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies, and Leadership, The Comey Rule, Jeff stars as the former FBI Director while Brendan will be portraying President Donald Trump.

“Nobody gets treated as unfairly as I do,” Brendan as Trump says to Jeff as Comey.

According to press release, The Comey Rule won’t be a biopic on one political feature but instead is an “insider’s journey down the corridors of power, where decision-makers struggle to apply old norms to a dramatic new paradigm in the face of Russia’s deep and unprecedented penetration into American politics, with our nation’s rule of law hanging in the balance. Each character’s actions in these historic months made the careers of some, destroyed the careers of others and helped shape the incendiary political landscape we live in today.”

The Comey Rule also stars Holly Hunter as former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates, Michael Kelly as former FBI Director Andrew McCabe, Jennifer Ehle as Patrice Comey, Scoot McNairy as former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, Jonathan Banks as former National Intelligence Director James Clapper, Oona Chaplin as former FBI lawyer Lisa Page, Amy Seimetz as former FBI lawyer Trisha Anderson, Steven Pasquale as former FBI agent Peter Strzok, Peter Coyote as Robert Mueller, and Kingsley Ben-Adir as President Barack Obama.

The Comey Rule will air the two-part, four-hour series on Showtime on back-to-back nights in November, following the 2020 presidential election.

A CBS mini series based on former FBI Director James Comey‘s book “A Higher Loyalty: Truth, Lies and Leadership” is in the works and we now know the actors set to play the title roles.

Jeff Daniels is set to take on the role of Comey, while Brendan Gleeson will portray President Donald Trump.

“Jeff is so perfect for this part. Great actor, instant integrity, loads of warmth, intelligence, complexity and gravitas. We talked backstage after I saw him in ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ on Broadway, and I knew I was looking at the only person who could play Jim Comey. Lucky for me, he said yes,” screenwriter Billy Ray told Variety of Jeff’s casting.

“It’s hard to imagine a bigger acting challenge than playing Donald Trump,” Ray said of Gleeson. “You have to have presence, and a singular kind of dynamism. You also have to have the courage and the will to play Trump’s psychology from the inside out. Oh, and you have to be spectacularly talented and watchable. Not many actors check all those boxes. Brendan does. I’m ecstatic about this.”

No air date is currently set, but the show will begin production on the four-hour mini-series in November.
