4 much-awaited shows on HBO in April 2022

If you are curious about the above-mentioned shows, we have all the deets for you.

1) Tokyo Vice

Tokyo Vice is set to hit HBO Max on April 7. The original drama miniseries is based on American journalist Jake Adelstein, played by Ansel Elgort, and his experiences as documented in his 2009 memoir of the same name. It is set to take place in the late 1990s, when Adelstein moves to Tokyo to investigate misconduct inside the Vice squad.

Detective Hiroto Katagiri (Ken Watanabe) assists him. He teaches the journalist about the delicate boundary between law and organized crime, and also serves as his role model.

Rachel Keller, Ella Rumpf, Rinko Kikuchi, Hideaki It, and Tomohisa Yamashita are also a part of this multicultural ensemble cast.

2) The Flight Attendant

HBO's widely praised thriller comedy-drama titled The Flight Attendant is set to return with its second season on April 21. It is expected to kick off with Cassie Bowden, played by Kaley Cuoco, making the most of her sober life while working part-time for the CIA.

In season one, she was an alcoholic flight attendant who became the prime suspect in a conspicuous murder case. The second season might be even more action-packed considering that it is unlikely Cassie can hold on to her rediscovered serenity for long. Involved in another scandal with fatal implications, Cassie will have to fight back. Things are going to get a little messy, and we're here for it.

3) Barry

You might have forgotten about Barry because Season 2 aired in 2019. Or, you might have been really sad because of its absence. Either way, Season 3 is all set to air on April 24 and you can get your popcorn ready.

The return of this dark, Emmy-winning HBO dramedy about a trained hitman attempting but failing to put his career behind him has been highly anticipated.

The upcoming season will involve Barry's growth, both on the personal and professional front. He might even have to face the consequences for his past actions. We will not give you any spoilers, but make sure to catch up on the first two seasons before April 24.

4) We Own This City

The wait won't be long as the six-episode long series depicting Baltimore's Police Force, We Own This City, is set to premiere on HBO on Monday, April 25, 2022.

David Simon's 2002 crime drama series, The Wire, introduced people to a side of Baltimore that not many knew about. Now, almost 20 years later, Simon and George Pelecanos are bringing back a narrative about the city in the form of a limited series starring Jon Bernthal.

Since the upcoming series is based on the real life events surrounding the growth and collapse of the Baltimore Police Department's Gun Trace Task Force corruption case, We Own This City will depict how authority can be abused.

According to reports, members of this once-respected squad were convicted on federal racketeering charges after an investigation revealed their years of atrocities on the streets they vowed to defend.
