Fantastic First Trailer for Steven Spielberg's AMAZING STORIES Revival Series!
Apple TV+ has released the first trailer for Steven Spielberg’s Amazing Stories revival series, and I’m 100% sold! I grew up watching Amazing Stories when I was a kid. It is one of my favorite shows of all time, and I loved what I’m seeing in the first trailer! I totally looks like it captures the magic of the original series and when that classic musical score kicks it, it gave me all the feels!
The trailer teases five of the unique stories that the series will tell and gives us a first look at the stars, who include Dylan O’Brien, Edward Burns, and the late Robert Forster, who plays a grandpa who has superpowers! It also stars Victoria Pedretti (The Haunting of Hill House, You), Josh Holloway (Lost, Yellowstone), Sasha Alexander (Rizzoli & Isles, Shameless), Edward Burns, Kerry Lynne Bishé, Whitney Coleman, Trisha Mashburn, Austin Stowell, and Juliana Canfield.
There will be 10 episodes total, and each episode will transport the audience to worlds of wonder through the lens of today’s most imaginative filmmakers. Those directors and writers who have been brought onto the series include Chris Long (The Americans, The Mentalist), Mark Mylod (Succession, Game of Thrones), Michael Dinner (Unbelievable, Sneaky Pete), Susanna Fogel (Utopia, Play By Play), and Sylvain White (Stomp The Yard, The Rookie).
Forster stars in the episode titled “Dynoman and the Volt,” directed by Fogel, which follows an awkward tween boy and his grandpa (Forster) who wrestle with feeling powerless, but when a superhero ring Grandpa ordered out of the back of a comic book arrives 50 years late and has the power to turn them into actual superheroes. The episode will feature an “In memory of” card to honor the late actor.
The series will be making its debut on Apple TV+ on March 6th with its first five episodes. Spielberg is a producer on the series alongside Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz (Lost, Once Upon a Time), who will both serve as showrunners.
