Prodigies First Look Featuring Will Sharpe and Ayo Edebiri
Today, Apple TV 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 had since they were 9.
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 lives 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 Ayo Edebiri.
