The first feature-length trailer for the much anticipated World War II series “Masters of the Air” has officially arrived. The Apple TV+ show from heavyweights Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks‚ which was long-delayed by COVID-19 and other network issues‚ will premiere on Jan. 26‚ 2024. It marks the third WWII installment for the pair‚ who previously produced HBO’s “Band of Brothers” and “The Pacific.” Though a teaser trailer was dropped in November‚ the Dec. 6 release offers an in-depth look with introductions of the cast as well as significant aerial action. Edge-of-your-seat dogfights‚ incredible displays of courage‚ and romance are present‚ as is a dark palette reflective of the material and setting. And even though the jump cuts are quick‚ each action-packed segment teases a truly epic series more than three years in the making. “The series features a stellar cast led by Academy Award-nominee Austin Butler‚ Callum Turner‚ Anthony Boyle‚ Nate Mann‚ Rafferty Law‚ Academy Award-nominee Barry Keoghan‚ Josiah Cross‚ Branden Cook and Ncuti Gatwa‚” according to press materials. “Masters of the Air” is based on a 2007 Donald L. Miller book of the same name‚ which chronicles the journey of the 100th Bomb Group — known as the “Bloody Hundredth” — as they took the fight to Nazi Germany in unparalleled acts of aerial combat. The show is slated to launch on Apple TV+ with a two-episode debut on Jan. 26‚ 2024. New episodes will drop every Friday after that through March 15.
