First Images From "Alpha House" And "Onion News Empire"

"Alpha House" was written by Academy Award nominee and Pulitzer-Prize winner Garry Trudeau ("Doonesbury," "Tanner ’88"). Based on a New York Times article about a group of senators who share a town house in Washington, D.C., "Alpha House" stars John Goodman ("Roseanne," Argo) as John Biggs, a politician who finds out his seat is threatened by a celebrated Duke basketball coach. To make matters worse, Biggs finds out he has to go to Afghanistan as part of the campaign. Mark Consuelos ("American Horror Story: Asylum," "Guys with Kids") also stars in the series.

The live-action comedy gives viewers a glimpse into the fictional offices of the "Onion News Empire," with William Sadler (The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile) playing a harried news director and Jeffrey Tambor ("Arrested Development," The Hangover) taking on the role of an egotistical, self-declared TV legend.

"Onion News Empire" is from The Onion’s Will Graham & Dan Mirk ("The Onion News Network," "The Onion Sportsdome"). Chris Masterson ("Malcolm in the Middle," American History X) also stars.
