Here’s the Trailer for Kumail Nanjiani, Emily V. Gordon, and Lee Eisenberg Written “Little America”

For our money, one of the much more intriguing offering from Apple’s streaming service Apple TV Plus is an American immigrant anthology series that will come from the pens of Kumail Nanjiani, Emily V. Gordon, and Lee Eisenberg (The Office). 

Kumail and Emily of course not only were a couple that co-ran The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail for years, but really shot themselves into the spotlight by writing the beautiful and very funny The Big Sick based on how they met.

Little America will follow several different immigrants and their experience in arriving and living in America for all the different sorts of things that could mean and this trailer hints at the series having the sort of the great heartfelt, dramedy vibe of The Big Sick. 

See for yourself in the trailer for Little America and then look for it on Apple TV Plus on Jan. 17th.

Kumail Nanjiani, Emily Gordon, Lee Eisenberg and Alan Yang Are Developing an Immigrant Anthology Series “Little America” for Apple

Some of the minds behind The Big Sick, Master of None, SMILF, and The Office are coming together to make a series that will effectively show a quilt of the immigrant experience with, of course, their magical, timely touch.

It’s still early to call this a win for Apple right out the gate, but we believe this is definitely a big get for them over all the other networks and streaming services.
