Apple TV on Friday unveiled a first look at “Prodigies,” a romantic comedy series starring, created, written, directed and executive produced by BAFTA and Actor Award winner Will Sharpe (“The White Lotus,” “A Real Pain”) alongside Emmy and Actor Award winner Ayo Edebiri (“The Bear,” “Bottoms”), who co-stars and executive produces. The series is produced by the Emmy and BAFTA Award-winning SISTER Pictures. The seven-episode season premieres globally on Wednesday, February 10, 2027 with two episodes, followed by one episode weekly until March 17, 2027.
“Prodigies” follows Didi (Edebiri) and Ren (Sharpe), two former child prodigies now in their 30s, as they reexamine the relationship they’ve been in since they were nine. From London to Tokyo by way of Virginia, this unconventional take on a romantic comedy explores ideas of potential, ambition and the universal complexities of long-term relationships. As they begin to question whether their very ordinary existence is living up to the extraordinary promise of their childhood, they find themselves in a new and terrifying kind of chaos.
The ensemble cast includes John Malkovich, Tobias Menzies, Yumi Asō, Maria Bakalova, Sophia Di Martino, Rina Sawayama, Reece Shearsmith, Dame Meera Syal and Andrene Ward-Hammond. “Prodigies” is executive produced by Naomi De Pear (“This Is Going to Hurt,” “Flowers”), Katie Carpenter (“Waiting for the Out”, “Landscapers”) and Jane Featherstone (“Black Doves,” “Giri/Haji”), for SISTER Pictures, alongside Sharpe for Fukuda Films, and Edebiri.
