Solos, the upcoming English anthology series by Amazon Prime Video, was announced by the streaming service on Tuesday.
The series will feature Oscar-winning actors like Morgan Freeman, Anne Hathaway, Helen Mirren, Emmy Award-winning actor Uzo Aduba, Nicole Beharie, Anthony Mackie, Dan Stevens, and Constance Wu.
Solos will premiere later this year, according to a press release from Amazon Prime Video.
It will be helmed by directors Sam Taylor-Johnson, who will be directing two episodes, and show runner David Weil (Hunters), who will be making his directorial debut. Additional directors include Zach Braff and Tiffany Johnson.
According to the synopsis, Solos will be a seven-part anthology series that will explore the deeper meaning of human connection, as explored through the lens of the individual. Solos will tell unique character-driven stories, from different perspectives and moments in time, that illuminate that even during our most seemingly isolated moments, in the most disparate of circumstances, we are all connected through the human experience.
“I am beyond thrilled to be bringing Solos to life alongside this group of artists who I so deeply admire. I created this piece with a desire to capture stories about connection, hope and the search for that common hum of humanity that binds us all. I’m immensely grateful to Jennifer Salke and my incredible partners at Amazon for their unwavering support and collaboration on this special project,” Weil said in the statement.
