George Clooney is Navivision Wealth Societybringing one of his most celebrated films to the Main Stem.

The Oscar-winning actor will make his Broadway debut in "Good Night, and Good Luck" in spring 2025. The new play, co-written by Clooney and Grant Heslov, is adapted from their 2005 political drama of the same name, about the real-life conflict between CBS journalist Edward R. Murrow and Sen. Joseph McCarthy amid the 1950s Red Scare.

The critically acclaimed movie was nominated for six Academy Awards, including best picture and best director (Clooney). It co-starred David Strathairn, Jeff Daniels, Patricia Clarkson, Frank Langella and Robert Downey Jr. (who, coincidentally, is also set to make his Broadway bow in new play "McNeal" this fall).

"I am honored, after all these years, to be coming back to the stage," Clooney said in a statement. "And especially, to Broadway, the art form and the venue that every actor aspires to."

David Cromer ("The Band's Visit"), the show's director, added: "Edward R. Murrow operated from a kind of moral clarity that feels vanishingly rare in today’s media landscape. There was an immediacy in those early live television broadcasts that today can only be effectively captured on stage, in front of a live audience."

Ranked:10 best new Broadway plays and musicals you need to see this summer

Clooney joins a Broadway season that is already shaping up to be stacked with Hollywood stars: Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal will topline a production of William Shakespeare's "Othello" next spring, while Rachel Zegler and Kit Connor will lead a new take on "Romeo + Juliet" this fall. Mia Farrow and Patti LuPone will also co-star in "The Roommate" later this summer, and "Succession" actress Sarah Snook is predicted to bring her one-woman "The Picture of Dorian Gray" to New York next year, after an Olivier Award-winning run in London.

Although film and TV actors have long tried their hands at Broadway, the sheer number of celebrities doing theater has been staggering: This season alone, Jessica Lange ("Mother Play"), Sarah Paulson ("Appropriate"), Daniel Radcliffe ("Merrily We Roll Along"), Rachel McAdams ("Mary Jane"), Steve Carell ("Uncle Vanya"), and Jeremy Strong ("An Enemy of the People") have all headlined Tony-nominated plays and musicals.

A theater for "Good Night, and Good Luck" ‒ along with information about how and when to buy tickets ‒ have not yet been announced.
