Olivia Munn pushing Aaron Sorkin to bring back ‘The Newsroom’
Olivia Munn and Aaron Sorkin are secretly plotting the return of hit TV drama The Newsroom.
The show, in which Munn portrayed economic news expert Sloan Sabbith, ended in 2014 after just three seasons, with creator Sorkin revealing it was hard to write a series about breaking TV news as it happened.
But the actress and castmate Tom Sadoski never gave up on the show, and now they are trying to persuade the screenwriter and director to bring it back.
“We’ve actually been having conversations with Sorkin about that,” Munn tells Entertainment Tonight. “He’s very busy, but we have very high hopes that it would be able to come together.”
“Tom and I are working hard and Sorkin loves it, and obviously it’s his creation and I had such an amazing time on it. There’s been so much that has happened in the news and in media that we could really speak on, and it’d really be interesting to see what his take would be on it and what The Newsroom would do today.”
“As somebody who went to journalism school and has such love for journalists and the media, that show was always a love letter to journalists, showing the struggles of what they go through to really tell the stories they want to tell,” she adds. “Tommy and I have been doing our due diligence with Sorkin, so we’ll see.”
The Newsroom also starred Emily Mortimer, Dev Patel, Alison Pill, and Jeff Daniels, who picked up a 2013 Emmy Award for his role as news anchor Will McAvoy.
