HBO has rescheduled U2’s “Innocence + Experience” for Dec. 7 after its original air date on Nov. 14 was canceled due to the terror attacks on Paris.

On Nov. 13, HBO announced that U2 had canceled its planned Paris concert and that the special broadcast of it will not take place. The rescheduled special will be available on HBO Go and HBO Now simultaneously with its world premiere on HBO.

“Innocence + Experience Live in Paris” will be shot live at the Accorhotels Arena in Bercy. “Very Semi-Serious: A Partially Thorough Portrait of New Yorker Cartoonists,” originally scheduled for Dec. 7, will be announced when it is set.

“So much that was taken from Paris on the tragic night of November 13th is irreplaceable,” Bono said. “For one night, the killers took lives, took music, took peace of mind – but they couldn’t steal the spirit of that city. It’s a spirit our band knows well and will try to serve when we return for the postponed shows on December 6 and 7. We’re going to put on our best for Paris.”

The special is produced by Done and Dusted with executive producers Hamish Hamilton, Simon Pizey, Davis Guggenheim and Guy Oseary, with Hamilton directing.
