Apple TV+ reportedly cancels ‘Sunny,’ starring Rashida Jones
“Sunny,” the Apple TV+ mystery sci-fi thriller starring Rashida Jones, has been cancelled after one season, Screen Daily reports citing “Sources close to the production.”
Michael Rosser and Gabriella Geisinger for Screen Daily:
Sources close to the production confirmed that series, produced by A24, will not return following the 10-episode run that began in July and concluded with a cliffhanger on September 4. Screen has contacted Apple TV+ and A24 for comment.
The story starred Jones as Suzie Sakamoto, a US woman living in a futuristic Kyoto, Japan, whose life is upended when her husband and son disappear in a mysterious plane crash. As “consolation” she’s given Sunny, one of a new class of domestic robots made by her husband’s electronics company. They develop an unexpected friendship begin to uncover the dark truth of what really happened to her family.
The US series was somewhat distinctive for being wholly shot in Japan. Production began in summer 2022, before Japan had fully re-opened its borders to tourists, and ran through the rest of the year.
MacDailyNews Take: Yeah, we can see it: “Sunny” never really hooked us.
