Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg have teamed up once again to give us another great story. Both stars are executive producers on this highly anticipated miniseries. Fans are getting excited after director, Cary Fukunaga, confirmed on Instagram that week 1 of shooting Masters of the Air was complete.
The show will focus on the true story of World War II’s American ‘bomber boys’ and their efforts in bringing down Nazi Germany. Everyone involved in the miniseries has an amazing set to work with – an airbase set was created just for this story in Buckinghamshire! The Daily Mail explains that the set was built on unused hotel and university land and cost $6.94 million to create!
The cast of Masters of the Air includes Callum Turner, Austin Butler, Tommy Jessop, and Anthony Boyle. Check out some images from the set of this historic new miniseries below.
Apple’s announcement on this story reads:
Apple today announced that it has partnered with Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Television, and Tom Hanks & Gary Goetzman’s Playtone on Masters of the Air, a new international limited drama series that marks the first series greenlit with Apple serving as the studio.
Masters of the Air will stream exclusively on Apple TV+, a new home for the world’s most creative storytellers, and is the second project for Apple to hail from Spielberg’s Amblin Television in addition to Amazing Stories.
The series will join Apple’s growing offering of sweeping international drama series, including Pachinko and Shantaram.
