Written by Paul Rudnick and directed by Jay Roach, the movie explores what quarantined life looks like for Americans during the pandemic through the up close, very personal, and socially distanced lenses of five characters living in New York City and Los Angeles.

HBO says:

"Coastal Elites is a socially-distanced, comedic satire that spotlights five characters breaking down and breaking through as they grapple with politics, culture, and the pandemic…This special presentation explores our current world of deeply divided politics and the universal pursuit of human connection. When the shutdown forces these distinct and impassioned people with varying points-of-view across the United States to cope in isolation, they react with frustration, hilarity, and introspection."
