Interested in seeing Laura Dern as “an agent of change” — not to mention, a woman who can create a rather disturbing elevator scene? Empower yourself by watching the first trailer for the new HBO drama Enlightened. Dern plays Amy Jellicoe, a troubled corporate exec who suffers a nervous breakdown, receives treatment at a mental health facility in Hawaii, and then returns to work as a new person. The kind who peddles self-help mantras and asks a table full of suits, “Wouldn’t you be happier working for a place that’s, like, giving back to the world instead of some corporate parasite that’s raping land and people?” Enlightened – which also stars Luke Wilson, Diane Ladd, and exec producer Mike White — debuts Oct. 10. Check out the trailer below:

Hopefully there’ll be lots of scenes of Laura Dern riding naked on a dinosaur-oh wait, that’s “Jurassic Park”.

i HEART LAURA DERN !
The second half of the trailer looked like the movie adaptation of Eat, Pray, Love, but it looks interesting. It looks funnier than The Big C (and yes, I watch the show). Glad to see Luke Wilson on television.
yeah, the BIg C can be hit or miss and sometimes i feel it comes off forced. loved Laura Dern since Wild at Heart this show will be great hopefully.
Omg, this show just jumped to the top of my list of new shows to watch! Very excited for this.
Any show that has a Regina Spektor song in the trailer is worth taking a look at to me.
Not sure how Laura Dern has gone untapped for so long but this looks very good.
I will agree with you that Laura Dern is a great actress, but this looks exceptionally boring.
nice use of regina. that’s my favorite part of that song too.
i’d definitely check this out. hbo rarely steers me wrong.
Laura Dern & Mike White? I’m in!
WTF, that’s the guy from The Amazing Race!!! What in the eff?!?!
Mike White was an actor and screenwriter before doing The Amazing Race…
Wow, the Amazing Race sure didn’t promote that!! I only know him as the weird-looking guy from the Amazing Race (and for the longest time I thought his dad was actually his boyfriend).
He’s a very accomplished screenwriter, actor and director, not a reality show contestant. He wrote School of Rock, The Good Girl, Dead Man on Campus, Year of the Dog, Orange County and more.
Love that actress.
That song fitted perfectly to this brilliant new series. I love Regina Spektor!!
Whats the name of Regina’s song used in the trailer?
It’s called Human of the Year.
(from the album Far – great album!)
Can’t wait. I’ve been waiting for this one!!!!
And once again–all the really really fine actresses are doing tv. Welcome, Laura Dern.
what regina spektor song is playing in the preview?
Human Of The Year
Love this premise and Laura Dern. That little smile she had in the rehab scene showed that in an instant, she “got it.” Can’t wait for the show.
