DESCRIPTION:
(from Apple's press release, December 2024) Today, Apple TV+ shared a first-look at "Government Cheese," starring multi-award-winner David Oyelowo, who also serves as executive producer. The 10-episode series will premiere globally on Apple TV+ on Wednesday, April 16, with the first four episodes, followed by one episode weekly every Wednesday through May 28, 2025. Simone Missick, Jahi Di'Allo Winston and Evan Ellison star alongside Oyelowo in the series hailing from creators Paul Hunter and Aeysha Carr. "Government Cheese" is a surrealist family comedy set in 1969 San Fernando Valley that tells the story of the Chambers, a quirky family pursuing lofty and seemingly impossible dreams, beautifully unfettered by the realities of the world. When Hampton Chambers (Oyelowo) is released from prison, his long-awaited family reunion doesn't go quite as he'd planned. During his absence, Hampton's wife, Astoria (Missick), and sons, Einstein (Ellison) and Harrison (Di'Allo Winston), have formed an unconventional family unit, and Hampton's return spins their world into chaos. |
