Apple TV+’s eight-part series on Benjamin Franklin does a bang-up job of depicting chess-like political maneuvering and landmark bargaining sessions that helped shape the course of history.
“I think that it really shares with us the fragility of a democracy and just how fragile this concept is, and how it has to be nourished and protected,” said the award-winning actor and producer during an interview to promote “Franklin,” which debuts on Apple TV+ on April 12. Tim Van Patten directed all eight episodes, and the 79-year-old Douglas served as an executive producer along with Schiff and others. Three episodes of the miniseries drop April 12 with one episode following every Friday through May 17.
Douglas was joined in this interview by co-star Noah Jupe who portrays Franklin’s ambitious grandson Temple in the miniseries. He knew zip about Franklin.
