Apple's Latest TV Series in Development is From Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon
Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon, writers of “The Big Sick,” are helming new TV show for Apple entitled “Little America.” That’s according to a new report from Deadline.
Here’s more about the series:
Little America is based on the true stories featured in Epic Magazine and described on the site as “a small, collective portrait of America’s immigrants — and thereby a portrait of America itself.” The TV series will go beyond the headlines to look at the funny, romantic, heartfelt, inspiring and unexpected lives of immigrants in America, at a time when their stories are more relevant than ever.
Also developing the series include Lee Eisenberg, “SMILF” executive producer, and Lee Eisenberg, co-creator of “Master of None.”
Nanjiani and Gordon are nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for “The Big Sick.”
Apple is making a big leap into original content with a number of different shows from big names including Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Aniston. It’s unknown when Apple will provide more information about when and how the series will debut.
