Apple TV+ has announced July 12 is when new coming of age science fiction drama Me will arrive. It looks similar to a lot of other things for me and probably too YA for my tastes, but this is very much something US TV excels at producing.
Me follows a 12-year-old kid named Ben who is in the throes of middle school (complete with bullies, crushes and school dances!) as he adjusts to a newly blended family AND the realization that he has super powers. Throughout the 10-episode season, Ben goes on a journey of self-discovery and learns what having super powers truly means. He finds an ally in his stepsister, Max, who helps him harness these powers and uncover the secrets behind the mysteries and tragedies of his community … all while he tries to come to terms with what it means to be Ben.
The series stars Lucian-River Chauhan as Ben Vasani, Abigail Pniowsky as Max Davis, Dilshad Vadsaria as Elizabeth Vasani, Amanda Reid as Carter Kennedy and Jessy Yates as Morgan, with guest stars Kyle Howard as Phil Davis and Sharif Atkins as Darren Kennedy.
Here’s the trailer:
