Apple today released the trailer for its highly anticipated series “Little America,” set to premiere on January 17, 2020 as the first of Apple TV+’s 2020 slate. Inspired by the true stories featured in Epic Magazine, “Little America” goes beyond the headlines to bring to life the funny, romantic, heartfelt and surprising stories of immigrants in America.
“Little America,” from Universal Television, is written and executive produced by Lee Eisenberg (“The Office,” Good Boys), who serves as showrunner, and executive produced by Kumail Nanjiani (The Big Sick, “Silicon Valley”), Emily V. Gordon (The Big Sick), Alan Yang (“Master of None,” “Parks and Recreation”), Sian Heder (Tallulah, “Orange Is the New Black”), Joshuah Bearman (Argo), Joshua Davis (Spare Parts) and Arthur Spector (The Shack). Heder also serves as co-showrunner alongside Eisenberg.
The cast for the anthology series includes Zachary Quinto (Star Trek franchise), Haaz Sleiman (“Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan,” The Visitor), Mélanie Laurent (Inglorious Bastards), Shaun Toub (“The Path to 9/11,” “Little King”), Conphidance (Klipper, I am My Own Mother), and Sherlilyn Fenn (“Twin Peaks”).
Apple TV+ is now available in over 100 countries and regions on the Apple TV app on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, iPod touch, Mac, select Samsung smart TVs, Roku and Amazon Fire TV devices, as well as on the web at tv.apple.com for just $4.99 per month with a seven-day free trial.
Directed by Gilles De Maistre, the film was shot throughout a three-year period so that the film’s young stars Daniah De Villiers and Ryan Mac Lennan could bond and develop real relationships with the lions and other animals that appear in the film. Mélanie Laurent (Inglorious Bastards, Beginners) and Langley Kirkwood (“Banshee”) also star.
