The limited series starring Jesse Eisenberg, Claire Danes, Lizzy Caplan and Adam Brody is certified new. Rotten Tomatoes with a score of 87 percent among critics and an 80 percent rating among viewers. The drama earned five Primetime Emmy nominations, including one for Brodesser-Akner’s writing.
Plepler joined Apple in 2020 after spending nearly three decades at HBO and has executive produced several series for Apple…
