Joshua Jackson discussed his upcoming HBO Max series “How to Survive Without Me” at an industry event in Los Angeles. The show, co-created by husbands Greg Berlanti and Robbie Rogers along with Bash Doran, centers on a family navigating life after the death of their matriarch, Beverly. The premise involves Beverly leaving behind a book that her five adult children and widowed husband can only read when gathered together, serving as a way for her to maintain family bonds from beyond the grave.
The ensemble cast includes Rita Wilson as Beverly, Ray Romano as her widower Leo, and Kaley Cuoco alongside Jackson as their children. Jackson characterized the series as incorporating mature themes typical of HBO programming, remarking on the show’s “sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll” content. He joked about the physical demands of the role and disclosed that the production marks his first experience having his hair colored to appear younger for a character.
Jackson’s collaboration with Berlanti spans decades, beginning nearly thirty years ago on “Dawson’s Creek.” The actor expressed optimism about the series’ longevity, noting that if early episodes are indicative of the show’s quality, he anticipates it will have a multi-year run. Jackson’s comments came during remarks at a gala celebrating Airbnb.org, the company’s nonprofit charitable arm dedicated to providing emergency housing during crises. The organization announced an additional $500 million commitment to its mission of offering temporary accommodations to individuals and families in need worldwide.
