C’mon, you knew that Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks weren’t done with World War II yet. Following Band Of Brothers (2001) and The Pacific (2010) on HBO (and don’t forget Saving Private Ryan), the executive producing duo has shifted over to Apple TV+ for Masters Of The Air.
As the title suggests, this new series will be chock full of breathtaking and intense scenes of aerial combat, all with a side of Barry Keoghan, fresh from drinking bathwater (and doing stuff to a grave) in Saltburn. Hey, he’s Irish, and yes, his character enjoys pointing that out, but let’s get to viewing logistics.
When Does Masters Of The Air‘s First Episode Stream?
The series launches Friday, January 26, 2024 with two episodes, followed by weekly through March 15, 2024, only on Apple TV+.
The show will not only impress original viewers of Spielberg and Hanks’ former collaborations, but expect the cast to reel in younger generations too. The deck is fully stacked with Austin Butler (as Major Gale “Buck” Clevin) and Keough (as Lt. Curtis Biddick) being the most recognizable names, but Nate Mann should be a breakout as Major Robert “Rosie” Rosenthal (yep, expect to see “Rosie’s Riveters” figure prominently). Those are only a few names from the vast ensemble, and directors include Cary Joji Fukunaga, Tim Van Patten, Dee Rees (Mudbound), and the team of Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck.
