Dickinson

Hailee Steinfeld ('Bumblebee') stars in 'Dickinson', a comedy that revolves around the psychological evolution that occurs in the transition from youth to adulthood, and focuses on the figure of Emily Dickinson, one of the most important poets of the 19th century.

The series was created by Alena Smith and produced by Apple Studios for the Apple TV+ platform, where it premiered in 2019. Over three seasons and 30 episodes, the episodes unfold in a modern and stylized reinterpretation of the life of the famous American poet. It combines historical elements with contemporary language, current music, and a rebellious tone unusual for the time. 

This mix of drama, comedy, and coming-of-age story allowed the series to stand out within the initial catalog of Apple TV+, in addition to particularly attracting a young audience. 

Alongside Hailee Steinfeld, the cast includes Jane Krakowski, Toby Huss, Anna Baryshnikov, Ella Hunt, Adrian Enscoe, and Wiz Khalifa, who plays a rather peculiar personification of Death.

The series is presented from the perspective of a budding writer who is affected by social, familial, and gender restrictions, and has a worldview that does not fit into the era she lives in. 

Jane Krakowski ('30 Rock') and Toby Huss ('King of the Hill') complete the cast as the mother and father of this teenager who, like all, is searching for her place in the world. Alena Smith is in charge of the script and is the executive producer along with David Gordon Green.
