In the tradition of improvisational comedies like Best In Show and This Is Spinal Tap, The Grand successfully captures the poker subculture and the quirky characters that inhabit it. The story is set in the world of professional poker and follows six players who reach the final table of the world’s second most famous high stakes tournament, the GRAND CHAMPIONSHIP OF POKER. An eclectic cast brings together many of today’s top comedic actors; Woody Harrelson, David Cross, Cheryl Hines, Richard Kind, Ray Romano, Dennis Farina, and more. It also heralds the first pairing of legendary German film director Werner Herzog and sitcom vet Gabe “Welcome Back Kotter” Kaplan.
