Will Sharpe and Ayo Edebiri to lead new Apple TV+ romantic comedy 'Prodigies'

They'll play two ex-child prodigies who have been together since they were children.

Today Apple TV+ has announced Prodigies, a new seven-part romantic comedy which will be written and directed by Will Sharpe who'll star alongside Ayo Edebiri .

This unusual take on a classic romantic comedy will explore the universal complexities of long-term relationships through the lens of a very unique couple. Didi and Ren, played by Ayo Edebiri and Will Sharpe, are two ex-child prodigies who have been together since they were children.

Now in their early 30s, they are starting to question whether their very ordinary existence is living up to the extraordinary promise of their childhood.

Inevitably, they find themselves asking the same questions of their relationship. As individual hopes and needs feed into and conflict with their shared lives, the series challenges the fallacy at the heart of romantic storytelling, that the tale is over when the heroes get together. In life, surely, that is just the beginning?

Produced by SISTER, Prodigies will be executive produced by Jane Featherstone, Naomi De Pear, Katie Carpenter, Will Sharpe and Ayo Edebiri.

Prodigies will air on Apple TV+
