Apple TV+ has just released the trailer for its upcoming live-action family series Me, an elevated cinematic coming-of-age story from Barry L. Levy (Vantage Point). The series is set to premiere globally on Friday, July 12, and promises to be a heartwarming and adventurous journey for viewers of all ages. Me follows 12-year-old Ben, played by Lucian-River Chauhan (Encounter), as he navigates the challenges of middle school, which include dealing with bullies, experiencing crushes, and attending school dances. Amidst these typical adolescent struggles, Ben is also adjusting to life in a newly blended family and has just discovered he has superpowers.
Throughout the 10-episode season, Ben embarks on a journey of self-discovery, learning what it truly means to possess such extraordinary abilities. He finds an unexpected ally in his stepsister Max, portrayed by Abigail Pniowsky (Arrival), who helps him harness his powers and uncover the secrets and tragedies of their community—all while Ben tries to understand his own identity.
The star-studded cast includes Dilshad Vadsaria (Second Chance) as Elizabeth Vasani, Amanda Reid (Miss Juneteenth) as Carter Kennedy, and Jessy Yates (Pulse) as Morgan. Guest stars feature Kyle Howard (Orange County) as Phil Davis and Sharif Atkins (NCIS Hawai’i) as Darren Kennedy. Me is an Apple Original created by Barry L. Levy, who serves as showrunner, executive producer, and series writer alongside Michael Dowse, Amy Welsh-Hanning, and Eben Russell. Aaron Carew is the supervising producer, and Dowse directs all 10 episodes.
