Apple has released the first trailer for Steven Spielberg AND Tom Hanks’incredible drama series about the Second World War Lords of the Air. The series focuses on the wartime airmen who risked their lives with the 100th Bomb Group, a brotherhood forged by courage, loss and triumph.
The series is based on the book of the same name by Donald L. Millerand follows the true story of “the American bombers of World War II who brought the war to Hitler’s doorstep.”
Spielberg, Hanks and Gary Goetzman they’re the same production team that brought us Band of brothers and the Pacific, both incredibly well-made shows. They are two of my favorite WWII war dramas and I have been thrilled with this Masters of the Air series, it looks like a fantastic and heartbreaking series!
Goetzman spoke about the series saying, “Masters of the Air is a tribute to the brave men of the 8th Air Force, who, through their courage and brotherhood, helped defeat Nazi Germany in World War II. Tom and Steven had always wanted to cinematically visualize what our author Don Miller called, this ‘singular event in the history of warfare’. We are thrilled that Apple TV+ has given us the opportunity to combine the efforts of so many talented people, on screen and behind the camera, to tell this important story.”
Austin Butler stars in the series as Major Gale Cleven Barry Keoghan as Lieutenant Curtis Biddick and Callum Turner as Major John Egan. The large ensemble cast was also present Anthony Boyle as Major Harry Crosby, Nate Mann as Major Robert Rosenthal, e Raff Law as Sergeant Ken Lemmons.
Written by John Orloff, Lords of the Air is produced by Apple Studios, Hanks and Goetzman’s Playtone and Spielberg’s Amblin Television. Executive producer Cary Joji Fukunaga directed several episodes, along with Dee Rees and the duo of Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck.
