The Big Picture With barely a month left till the premiere of the historical TV show Franklin, Apple TV+ decided to finally unveil the first trailer for the limited series. It stars Michael Douglas as Benjamin Franklin – one of the Founding Fathers of the United States that helped come up with the Declaration of Independence. The series premieres on April 12.
The trailer for Franklin reveals that, once again, Apple has spared no expense when it came to production values. Franklin’s scope doesn’t seem too different from another Apple historical drama: Oscar-nominated Napoleon. However, in past times, the fact that it was a series would suggest a story told on a limited budget. Now, however, the spectacle is as much part of the series as its intriguing storyline. Franklin will also be set apart by its approach to the title character.
Intrigue and The Birth of America Are Integral Parts of ‘Franklin’ Also underscored by the trailer is the fact that a bunch of things we take for granted today – The United States’ existence, for example – were a matter of life and death in the eighteenth century. In order to claim their newfound country’s independence, Franklin and his fellow politicians had to ask for a lot of favors in order to be able to put together a Revolution.
Franklin is written by Kirk Ellis and Howard Korder . The duo based the story on the book A Great Improvisation: Franklin, France, and the Birth of America by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Stacy Schiff. Aside from Douglas, the cast also features Noah Jupe , Thibault de Montalembert , Daniel Mays , Ludivine Sagnier , Eddie Marsan , Assaad Bouab , Jeanne Balibar and Theodore Pellerin .
Apple TV+ premieres Franklin with three episodes on April 12. The remaining five episodes will roll out weekly on Fridays. You can watch the trailer above.
