HBO will debut a filmed version of “Just for Us” in April. The film features a live capture of the play, written and performed by comedian Alex Edelman, which was recorded on Aug. 16 and 17, 2023, during [its run at Broadway’s Hudson Theatre](https://www.broadwaynews.com/review-just-for-us-is-an-incisive-comedy-for-everyone/). 

Tony Award winner [Alex Timbers](https://www.broadwaynews.com/director-alex-timbers-is-the-great-provocateur-of-broadway/), who was a creative consultant on the Broadway production, served as director of the live capture. A specific date of the release will be announced.

“Alex is a truly brilliant writer and storyteller,” said Nina Rosenstein, executive vice president, HBO programming, late night and specials, in a statement. “‘Just for Us’ is a thought-provoking and powerful show that stays with you long after you see it, and we’re thrilled to bring it to our audience.”

“Just for Us” follows Edelman’s real-life attendance at a Queens white supremacist gathering in response to receiving online anti-Semitic threats and rhetoric.

“You know, when I was in high school, I saw John Updike give a talk and he said, ‘If you’re lucky, the work that you write might at some point find itself in conversation with the times in which you live,’” Edelman said in a statement. “And, well, call me Mr. Lucky.”

Directed on the Main Stem by the late Adam Brace, the solo play opened on Broadway on June 26, 2023, and completed a limited run on Aug. 19\. A subsequent national tour [launched](https://www.broadwaynews.com/alex-edelmans-broadway-solo-play-just-for-us-launches-u-s-tour/) on Oct. 26 at San Francisco’s Curran Theatre. Following an upcoming one-night return to New York City on March 14 at the Beacon Theatre, the tour will [conclude](https://www.broadwaynews.com/alex-edelmans-just-for-us-adds-more-cities-to-north-american-tour/) on March 31 at Los Angeles’ Mark Taper Forum.

“Just for Us” on HBO is being executive-produced by Edelman, Timbers, Mike Birbiglia and Above Average’s Marc Lieberman and Ally Engelberg.
