While the world is still paying attention to the real tennis matches going on at the French Open, HBO has unleashed the greatest fake tennis match in history. The network finally set an air date for 7 Days In Hell, the mockumentary that tells the story of the epic match between Aaron Williams and Charles Poole.
The film was actually screened at SXSW in March and stars Andy Samberg as the arrogant American player Aaron. Game of Thrones star Kit Harington plays the Brit Charles, a child tennis prodigy who struggles to say words other than “indubitably.”
The special was only took a few days to make and Samberg enlisted several former Saturday Night Live stars to provide extra comments about the epic three-day match. There are plenty of hilarious celebrity cameos throughout. It was directed by Funny Or Die vet Jake Szymanski and written by Murray Miller (Girls).
Running around 50 minutes, the special will air on July 11 on HBO. Get your mullets ready.
