Extrapolations teases immense cast in first trailer for intriguing drama
The cast list for this new Apple TV+ drama is utterly star-studded.
New Apple TV+ series Extrapolations has just unveiled a brand new trailer, and it's safe to say that as well as looking like a tense and topical watch about climate change, it's also a very, very, star-studded drama.
What we mean is you're going to be left doing double takes over the amount of stars in this eight-part series.
The bracing drama comes from writer, director and executive producer Scott Z Burns and introduces a near future where the chaotic effects of climate change have become embedded into our everyday lives.

The series will cover eight different interwoven stories about love, work, faith and family from across the globe and will explore the intimate, life-altering choices that must be made when the planet is changing faster than the population.
According to the synopsis: "Every story is different, but the fight for our future is universal. And when the fate of humanity is up against a ticking clock, the battle between courage and complacency has never been more urgent. Are we brave enough to become the solution to our own undoing before it’s too late?"

We see how each story deals with differing ideals of the world we live in and how technological advancements are paving the way. "Humans have set foot on Mars, cancer has been defeated and yet, for every question answered, another one appears," a priest can be heard telling his congregation.
