The Chair Company Release Date
Circle October 12, 2025 on the calendar: that’s the official premiere of Tim Robinson’s much-anticipated HBO comedy, The Chair Company. You know when a show gets pushed a few weeks and suddenly your group chat has to choose between “early Halloween party” and “binge episode one”? That’s where we’re at. I’ve honestly lost track of how many times I’ve told people it was September... only for HBO to drop the real date. So get the snacks ready for an October kick-off, and maybe plan for a cozy, slightly chilly night in. The eight-episode season will unroll week by week, ending in late November—not a binge drop, so patience will be rewarded (or tested).
The Chair Company Cast
Kicking things off as our embattled protagonist, Tim Robinson steps into the role of William Ronald Trosper—awkward, neurotic, and almost certainly about to make some truly spectacular office mistakes. The cast is stacked: Lake Bell, Sophia Lillis, Will Price, Joseph Tudisco, and the one and only Lou Diamond Phillips all join the fray. From the first-look images, you can just tell there’s going to be office drama, chair-related calamity, and probably that signature Robinson-meltdown energy. It’s a lineup that suggests big laughs, big cringe, and maybe the kind of character chaos you only find in Tim and Zach Kanin collaborations.
Anecdote time: seeing Lake Bell and Robinson together honestly reminds me of my old office’s improv nights—the ones where someone would run with a totally out-there premise, and you’d just watch the fun spiral. That energy is basically the promise here.
Where to Watch The Chair Company?
You can stream The Chair Company exclusively on HBO and Max starting October 12. It’ll be a classic weekly rollout, no binge-crazy release; one new episode each Sunday. If Max or HBO is out of reach, there’s hope—international releases are expected on partner platforms (think Sky/Now TV in the UK), though there’s no set word yet. My tip: check with your usual streaming haunts, and don’t be the person who pirates it and then can’t join the official meme conversation.
Honestly, there’s something fun about waiting seven days for the next dose of absurdist conspiracy comedy. It means more watercooler theorizing and less “oops, finished the season in one night” regret.
