MIAMI, Fla., August 9, 2016 – The seventh installment of the sci-fi adventure saga, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, premieres exclusively on HBO on Saturday, November 5th at 22hrs* in the Caribbean.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens was nominated for five Oscars and grossed more than $2 billion worldwide, making it the highest-grossing film of 2015, of the franchise, of Walt Disney Studios and the third highest-grossing film of all time. Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a not-to-be-missed cinematic experience that received an overwhelmingly positive response from fans and critics alike.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens will premiere exclusively on HBO thanks to the network’s deal with Walt Disney Studios. HBO Latin America holds the exclusive first-run rights to some of the world’s most recognized films from four of the top studios – Warner Bros., Disney, and Universal – including 70% of Hollywood’s box office blockbusters, available for viewers in the Caribbean, first on HBO.

The film’s all-star cast reunites the actors from the first film that premiered nearly 40 years ago while also introducing new characters for this new chapter of the story. Leading the charge is Oscar®-nominated actor Harrison Ford as Han Solo, Mark Hamill returning as Luke Skywalker, Carrie Fisher reprising her role as Princess Leia. Adam Driver (from HBO’s Girls) portrays Kylo Ren, Oscar® winner Lupita Nyong’o is Max Kanata, Daisy Ridley is Rey, John Boyega is Finn and Oscar Isaac is Poe Dameron.

The story continues 30 years since the defeat of the Galactic Empire and the galaxy now faces a new threat from the evil Kylo Ren and the First Order. The Resistance, led by Han Solo, Luke Skywalker and Leia (veterans of the Rebel Alliance), unite forces with a defector named Finn, Rey, and Poe to try and locate Luke Skywalker, the last of the Jedi Knights.

Emmy® award winner J.J. Abrams directed the film in addition to serving as a producer and writer. The film was also produced by Kathleen Kennedy and Bryan Burk, and written by Lawrence Kasdan and Michael Arndt.
