Masters of the Air, Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg’s much-anticipated follow-up series to Band of Brothers and The Pacific, finally has a launch date. Check out a series of first look photos below. Update: Watch the teaser trailer here.
The first two episodes of the nine-episode limited series will premiere on Apple TV+ on Friday, January 26th. A new episode will then air every Friday through March 15th.
Masters of the Air pulls from Donald L. Miller’s biography Masters of the Air: America’s Bomber Boys Who Fought the Air War Against Nazi Germany, telling the story of the enlisted men of the US Eighth Air Force and their valiant aerial war with Nazi Germany.
The ensemble cast is led by Austin Butler (Elvis) and also includes Callum Turner (Fantastic Beasts), Anthony Boyle (The Plot Against America), Nate Mann, and Raff Law. John Orloff, who worked on Band of Brothers, adapted the screenplay alongside Graham Yost (Justified, The Americans).
Masters of the Air will stream exclusively on Apple TV+, which reportedly committed upwards of $250 million to the production of the series. To that point, a sprawling set made to look like a WW2-era air force base was constructed in the British countryside, reportedly at a cost of nearly $7 million.
