Apple series have news in the cast; second season of “Carpool Karaoke” gets debut date

Another week, some more news for the growing catalog of original Apple series.

“Dickinson”

The first news of the day, how did the deadline, is the newest wave of actors and actresses who are joining the series “Dickinson”, about the American poetess Emily Dickinson. Are they: Toby Huss (in “Halt and Catch Fire”), Anna Baryshnikov (from “Manchester à Beira-Mar”), Ella Hunt (from “Os Miseráveis”) and Adrian Blake Enscoe (in “Seeds”).

The four actors will have regular roles in the series, which will adopt comic tones when portraying the period of the 19th century in which the poet lived, and will join the protagonist Hailee Steinfeld (nominated for an Oscar for “Bravura Indomita”), who will play the title character. As already disclosed, the production will be directed by filmmaker David Gordon Green (from remake in “Halloween”) and other professionals, but we don’t have a debut date yet.

“Are You Sleeping?”

THE deadline also reported an exchange in the cast of another of the future Apple series. The production “Are You Sleeping?”, which brings Octavia Spencer (Oscar winner for “Histórias Cruzadas”) as a presenter of an investigative podcast that gets involved with her cases, saw the departure of actress Moon Bloodgood and the entry of Katherine LaNasa to your place.

Bloodgood left the series for unspecified reasons after recording four of the first season’s eight episodes; LaNasa will take his place with a different role, rewritten by the writers, and some scenes will have to be remade. She joins Spencer and other well-known Hollywood names in the thriller series, such as Aaron Paul (in “Breaking Bad”) and Elizabeth Perkins (from “Sharp Objects”).

As “Dickinson” (and basically all series still in production at Apple), we don’t have a release date for “Are You Sleeping?”.

“Carpool Karaoke”

Finally, Apple released the release date for the second season of “Carpool Karaoke” – new episodes will arrive from this Friday the 12th, with a new chapter released weekly. A trailer for the new season was also released by Apple:

The second season of the entertainment program will feature figures and celebrities like Matthew McConaughey, Snoop Dog, “Weird Al” Yankovic, Andy Samberg, the Muppets and much more. Episodes will be released free of charge to all users of the TV app – an Apple Music subscription is not required to access them.
