Apple Orders PACHINKO Series Based on Min Jin Lee's Novel
Pachinko is a dramatic novel from Min Jin Lee and Apple has just ordered a series based on it. Soo Hugh from The Terror wrote, executive produced, and will serve as showrunner for the series which will be available in English, Japanese, and Korean. Here’s a description:
I feel like I’m hearing about more and more shows that deal with multigenerational immigrant families. It’s fascinating to me. The real difference with Pachinko is that the family didn’t come to the US, but rather to Japan. That’s sure to be a completely different dynamic. Lee will also serve as an executive producer, as will Michael Ellenberg.
