Six Feet Under: Beginning of the End

At Fisher & Diaz, lives are in flux. Nate is struggling to reaffirm his relationship with Brenda while raising his daughter, even as David and Keith long for children of their own. Ruth tries to cope with her mentally fragile husband George, Claire seeks to broaden her horizons, and Federico strives to fill the void left by Vanessa. What’s next?

Find out when SIX FEET UNDER kicks off its 12-episode fifth and final season MONDAY, JUNE 6 (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT), with the episode entitled “A Coat of White Primer,” followed by other editions on subsequent Mondays at the same time, exclusively on HBO.

Wrapping its fourth season last September, the Emmy® and Golden Globe winner SIX FEET UNDER was created by Alan Ball (winner of the Best Original Screenplay Oscar® for “American Beauty”).
