Julia Roberts and Sean Penn are getting fans excited for their new series!

Julia and Sean were joined by co-stars Dan Stevens, Betty Gilpin, Darby Camp, Allison Tolman, J.C. Mackenzie, Chris Bauer, Patton Oswalt, Nat Faxon, Patrick Walker, and Raphael Sbarge.

Gaslit is “a modern take on Watergate that focuses on the untold stories and forgotten characters of the scandal – from Nixon’s bumbling and opportunistic subordinates to the deranged zealots aiding and abetting their crimes to the tragic whistleblowers who would eventually bring the whole rotten enterprise crashing down. The story will center on Martha Mitchell, played by Julia Roberts. A big personality with an even bigger mouth. Martha is a celebrity Arkansan socialite and wife to Nixon’s loyal Attorney General, John Mitchell, played by Sean Penn. Despite her party affiliation, she’s the first person to publicly sound the alarm on Nixon’s involvement in Watergate, causing both the Presidency and her personal life to unravel.”

The series premieres on April 24.

FYI: Julia is wearing a Gucci outfit and Chopard jewelry. Dan is wearing a Licong Gong outfit. Darby is wearing Markarian.

James Franco Steps Out To Support 'Linda Vista' Opening Night!

James Franco braves the rain to flash a smile outside the Mark Taper Forum ahead of the opening night performance of the Steppenwolf Theatre Company production of Linda Vista held on Wednesday (January 16) in Los Angeles.

The 40-year-old actor-director was accompanied by his The Deuce co-star Chris Bauer, as well as playwright Tracy Letts and his wife Carrie Coon, director Dexter Bullard, designer Laura Bauer and play star Ian Barford.

Linda Vista tells of Wheeler, a 50-year-old man who is floating. His marriage is over, his job is mundane, and the best years of his life appear to be behind him. A move from the cot in his ex-wife’s garage to his own apartment opens up new possibilities for love, sex and maybe a taste of redemption. Full of opinions, yet short on self-examination, Wheeler must reconcile the man he has become with the man he wants to be in this searing work that resonates with a new sense of sobriety in the wake of the #MeToo movement.

Linda Vista runs through February 17!
