Tim Robinson’s The Chair Company Lands HBO Premiere This October: Conspiracies, Chaos, and Cringe Incoming

Get Ready for the Weirdest Show on HBO This Fall

If your idea of comfort TV includes awkward silences, unhinged rants, and the vague feeling that someone might be having a breakdown on screen, then good news — Tim Robinson is back. This time, the I Think You Should Leave mastermind is bringing his chaotic genius to HBO with his new comedy series The Chair Company, premiering Sunday October 12 2025 on HBO and HBO Max. That’s right. The king of cringe comedy is stepping up to premium cable. Buckle up.

What Is The Chair Company About?

Tim Robinson stars as William Ronald Trosper, a man whose life is spiraling after a humiliating incident at work. As if that weren’t enough, he soon finds himself deep in a conspiracy that’s probably way out of his league. Think corporate satire meets psychological unraveling with plenty of Robinson’s signature outbursts along the way. In other words, pure chaos. Delicious, hilarious chaos.

The series is co-created with longtime collaborator Zach Kanin and backed by executive producers like Adam McKay and Todd Schulman. Add directors Andrew DeYoung and Aaron Schimberg into the mix and it’s clear HBO is not playing around.

A Cast That Knows How to Commit to the Bit

Joining Robinson is a stacked cast featuring Lake Bell, Sophia Lillis, Will Price, Joseph Tudisco, and none other than Lou Diamond Phillips. Yes, that Lou Diamond Phillips. If that casting doesn’t scream “this show will get weird,” nothing does.

When and Where to Watch

The Chair Company premieres October 12 with eight weekly episodes running through November 30. Catch it on HBO or stream it on HBO Max. No excuses.

Why Everyone Will Be Talking About The Chair Company

Whether you’re a diehard fan of I Think You Should Leave or just enjoy watching people unravel in fluorescent-lit offices, The Chair Company promises to be one of fall’s most bizarre and talked-about comedies. With Tim Robinson’s unpredictable energy and HBO’s production muscle, it’s shaping up to be the strangest must-watch of the season.

Final Thoughts: Don’t Sleep on This One

If you love your comedy uncomfortable with a side of conspiracy, The Chair Company needs to be on your October watchlist. Expect laughs, existential dread, and probably some chairs. Tune in, cringe hard, and try not to scream at your screen — or do, we won’t judge.
