HBO has acquired broadcast rights to a filmed version of the acclaimed comedy play "Oh, Mary!", bringing the theatrical hit to television in 2027. The production features Cole Escola, who both wrote and stars as Mary Todd Lincoln in the lead role. The network's acquisition reflects growing appetite to expand stage successes to broader television audiences through filmed performance formats.

The live capture was recorded during a July 2026 performance at London's Trafalgar Theatre, preserving the theatrical experience for viewers unable to attend stage productions. "Oh, Mary!" has achieved significant success across Broadway and the West End runs, and promotional materials for the broadcast have generated additional momentum with appearances by entertainment personalities. The television premiere will introduce millions to the comedy's distinctive approach to historical narratives, significantly expanding the play's cultural reach beyond theatre venues.
