- Prodigies, a seven-part comedy drama coming to Apple TV+, focuses on the relationship between two ex-child prodigies
- The show is written by Landscapers creator Will Sharpe, who co-stars alongside Ayo Edebiri
- "The series challenges the fallacy at the heart of romantic storytelling - that the tale is over when the heroes get together"
Apple TV+ have announced Prodigies, a new comedy drama created by Landscapers and Flowers writer Will Sharpe.
The seven-part series will co-star Ayo Edebiri, the American actor who voices Missy in Big Mouth and played Sydney in The Bear.
The series is described as follows: "This unusual take on a classic romantic comedy explores the universal complexities of long-term relationships through the lens of a very unique couple. 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?"
Prodigies is being produced by Sister, the production company behind This Is Going To Hurt which previously made Landscapers with Sharpe in 2021.
Sharpe, who played Ethan in The White Lotus, is also set to star in Too Much, a Netflix comedy drama about two ex-pats.
