Tom Hanks' 2021 Sci-Fi Gem Was Ahead of Its Time, and Audiences Are Finally Catching On

Few movie stars have had as successful of a career as Tom Hanks, and although he’s now almost 70 years old, he’s showing no signs of slowing down. Hanks can be seen narrating the new WWII series, World War II with Tom Hanks, which is blowing up on streaming around the world after a successful premiere. Hanks also executive produces the show, which he also did for the Apple TV World War II series, Masters of the Air (co-starring Austin Butler and Barry Keoghan). Hanks has plenty of experience with the World War II genre, and not just with the obvious Steven Spielberg collaboration, Saving Private Ryan. Back in 2020, Hanks headlined one of the biggest Apple TV movies of all time in Greyhound, which was such a success that the studio is hard at work on a sequel.

Apple TV’s Secret Sci-Fi Masterpiece Officially Returns in Less Than 100 Days

In the last few years, Apple TV has done more than enough to establish itself as one of the premiere homes for original sci-fi programming. Many fans first flocked to the platform for more wholesome hits like Ted Lasso (starring Jason Sudeikis), but it was more dystopian thrillers like Severance (starring Adam Scott) that got subscribers to re-up their deal and hang around for the long haul. Severance was the most-watched Apple TV show in platform history until last year brought on the arrival of Pluribus, which was written and created for TV by Breaking Bad scribe Vince Gilligan. Both Severance and Pluribus have been renewed for new seasons, but neither will return before the end of this year. There is another Apple TV sci-fi show you may have forgotten about that’s set to return for a new season sooner than you realize.
