Tony Goldwyn, following a six-year stint as President Fitzgerald Grant on ABC's Scandal, will return to Broadway this fall in Network. He'll appear alongside the previously announced Bryan Cranston and Tatiana Maslany in the Ivo van Hove-directed production, which begins performances November 10 at the Belasco Theatre. Opening night is set for December 6.
Goldwyn will play Max Schumacher, the head of news at the fictional network UBS, where Howard Beale (Cranston, reprising his Olivier-winning performance from the National Theatre premiere) serves as a longtime anchor. He previously appeared on Broadway in Promises, Promises and Holiday.
