HBO is set to drop a political drama TV miniseries titled The White House Plumbers. Based on the book authored by Egil Krogh and Matthew Krogh, The White House Plumbers, which is an update on the 2007 book Integrity, is created by Alex Gregory and Peter Hyuck. The show will be directed by David Mandel, who previously worked on the political comedy Veep as well as other shows such as Curb Your Enthusiasm and Seinfeld. The upcoming show experienced a few hiccups during its production, caused by an alleged hostile working environment that occurred during the shoot. According to Deadline, Mandel reportedly exhibited unprofessional behavior, which included an outburst towards the show’s prop master. In a statement from HBO, the company said: “HBO has received reports of alleged unprofessional behavior on the set of White House Plumbers,” the network said in a statement to Deadline at the time. “We take very seriously our responsibility to ensure a respectful work environment on all our productions, and we are investigating the matter fully.” It looks like the show has continued its production and will be released on its expected schedule.
