On Monday, at the 2025 SXSW Film & TV Festival in Austin, Texas, Apple TV+ held its global premiere of “Government Cheese,” the surrealist family comedy series executive produced by and starring multi-award-winning actor David Oyelowo. The 10-episode series will debut with the first four episodes on April 16, followed by new episodes every Wednesday through May 28, 2025. Attendees included star and executive producer Oyelowo, alongside series stars Jahi Di’Allo Winston, Evan Ellison and Bokeem Woodbine, creators and executive producers Paul Hunter and Aeysha Carr, and more. “Government Cheese” is a surrealist family comedy set in 1969 San Fernando Valley that tells the story of the Chambers, a quirky family pursuing lofty and seemingly impossible dreams, beautifully unfettered by the realities of the world. When Hampton Chambers (Oyelowo) is released from prison, his long-awaited family reunion doesn’t go quite as he’d planned. During his absence, Hampton’s wife Astoria (Simone Missick) and sons Einstein (Evan Ellison) and Harrison (Jahi Di’Allo Winston) have formed an unconventional family unit, and Hampton’s return spins their world into chaos. Hailing from Apple Studios and MACRO Television Studios, “Government Cheese” is written, executive produced and co-showrun by Paul Hunter and Aeysha Carr, with Hunter also serving as director. In addition to starring, Oyelowo executive produces under his Yoruba Saxon banner. The series is also executive produced by Charles D. King and Jelani Johnson for MACRO Television Studios. Ali Brown executive produces for Ventureland.
