About Chernobyl
Chernobyl premiered May 6, 2019 on HBO as five episodes from Craig Mazin with Johan Renck directing all. The 1986 blast gives way to divers in tanks, miners digging, and roof cleaners throwing graphite with Stellan Skarsgard as Shcherbina and Emily Watson as Khomyuk.
The run ends June 3, 2019 with Vichnaya Pamyat trial testimony and won ten Emmys including limited series. HBO bills it miniseries with no season 2. Watch episodes 1 through 5 straight, since the control room errors through court testimony build the cost reveal.
Good to know
There is no separate chronological order worth listing. The blast night through trial plays forward in broadcast order across five parts of about one hour with bridge of death. Start at 1:23:45, since the test setup matters for later choices by Dyatlov. Treat the 2019 run as finished, with no follow up planned.
