Apple TV+ announced today the new comedy series, Prodigies, starring Will Sharpe and Ayo Edebiri.
Prodigies is an unusual take on a classic romantic comedy.
I happen to enjoy classic as well as contemporary romcoms, and I’m intrigued by the premise of an unusual take, so Prodigies has my interest.
Created, written, and directed by BAFTA and SAG Award winner Will Sharpe (The White Lotus, A Real Pain, Giri/Haji), who stars alongside Emmy® and SAG Award winner Ayo Edebiri (The Bear, After the Hunt, Black Mirror), Prodigies explores the universal complexities of long-term relationships through the lens of a very unique couple.
In the seven-episode series, Didi (Edebiri) and Ren (Sharpe) are two ex-child prodigies who have been together since they were children. Now in their early 30s, they are starting to question whether their very ordinary existence is living up to the extraordinary promise of their childhood. Inevitably, they find themselves asking the same questions of their relationship.
As individual hopes and needs feed into and conflict with their shared lives, the series challenges the fallacy at the heart of romantic storytelling: that the tale is over when the heroes get together. In life, surely, that is just the beginning?
A production of the Emmy® and BAFTA Award-winning Sister (Kaos, Eric, Landscapers), Prodigies is executive produced by Sharpe and Edebiri, and award-winning executive producers Jane Featherstone (Black Doves, Giri/Haji), Naomi De Pear (This Is Going to Hurt, Flowers), and Katie Carpenter (Landscapers, Flowers) for Sister.
Stay tuned for updates.
