J.J. Abrams is Producing a Dramedy Series For Apple Called LITTLE VOICES
J.J. Abrams and Sara Bareilles are set to executive produce a new half-hour dramedy series for Apple called Little Voices. The series is being written, directed, and produced by Jessie Nelson, who is being films such as I Am Sam, Stepmom, and Corrina, Corrina.
The series is described as "a love letter to the diverse musicality of New York which explores the universal journey of finding your authentic voice in your early 20s." The music for the series will come from Bareilles who previously collaborated with Nelson on the Tony Award–nominated musical Waitress.
Apple has already ordered a ten-episode first season. This seems like a great project for everyone involved, including Abrams who got his big break with the series Felicity. Judging by what we know, it seems like there are may be some similarities between Felicity and Little Voices.
Abrams has got a ton of other projects in the works right now that include Westworld, Castle Rock, Demimonde, Lovecraft Country, Star Trek 4, and Star Wars: Episode IX.
