‘Strange Planet’ Trailer Promises a Whimsical Comedy!! Check It Out!!

Set to make its premiere on August 9, Apple TV+ has released the trailer for their upcoming adaptation of Strange Planet. With two years past since the initial announcement, Strange Planet is based on the New York Times bestselling graphic novel of the same name by Nathan Pyle. The whimsical comedy will have new episodes debut weekly on Wednesdays through the season finale on September 27 for a total of ten episodes.

The trailer begins with a question the Apple TV+ series hopes to tackle and answer emphatically. “What if our world isn’t the only one where existence is absurd?” Set in a comically absurd world, the trailer for the most part points to the similarities shared between humans and the blue beings that exist in this vibrant, outlandish world. From interactions at coffee shops, near-death experiences on airplanes and the ingestion of “mild” poison at the bar, these blue beings explore some of the absurdities found in the traditions humans seem to have grown accustomed to without considering the complexities. The trailer, however, does possess one very key piece of advice: every moment will pass, be it good or bad.

Strange Planet joins a list of brilliant shows that make up the Apple TV+ lineup. It joins beloved comedy Ted Lasso, as well as the adaptation of Isaac Asimov‘s Foundation which is set for a second season, and new series Silo among others. Pyle‘s original webcomics upon which the series is based, were first released on Instagram before the author began publishing the stories in hardcover.
