While it might not be a topic of everyday conversation, there's no denying that Band of Brothers stands as an indisputable masterpiece among TV shows. Even though it's been more than twenty years since its debut, this HBO miniseries has aged like fine wine. Perhaps this enduring quality is what has paved the way for an exciting new companion series, Masters of the Air.
The highly anticipated World War II drama series is scheduled to make its premiere on Apple TV+, and now the streamer has unveiled the premiere date alongside tantalizing first-look photos.
With up-and-coming star Austin Butler at the helm of the cast, the nine-episode limited series will be brought to life by the acclaimed trio of Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks, and Gary Goetzman, the masterminds behind Band of Brothers and The Pacific.
Masters of the Air will kick off with the release of two episodes on January 26, and subsequently drop one new episode every Friday until March 15. This release mirrors the approach of its predecessors, Band of Brothers and The Pacific, both of which have been reinvigorated, finding fresh, enthusiastic audiences on Netflix.
When Hollywood titans Spielberg and Hanks join forces, audiences are guaranteed riveting World War II stories, as evidenced by their previous collaborations. Master of the Air, which is a visual adaptation of Donald L. Miller's eponymous novel, was initially introduced as a launch title for Apple TV+ in 2019.
