Apple TV+ has unveiled a sneak peek of its upcoming comedy series titled "Still Up," along with the exciting news that the show's global premiere is set for Friday, September 22. The show, consisting of eight episodes, stars Antonia Thomas (known for her roles in "The Good Doctor," "Small Axe," and "Lovesick") and Craig Roberts (recognized for his performances in "Red Oaks" and "Submarine"). Viewers can anticipate an initial release of the first three episodes, followed by weekly releases every Friday until October 27.
Set in the enchanting realm of insomniacs' late-night world, "Still Up" is a nearly romantic comedy that centers around the lives of Danny (played by Roberts) and Lisa (portrayed by Thomas). Amid the cover of darkness, these two individuals, who possess no secrets but harbor concealed emotions for each other, navigate the complexities of their own feelings.
Adding depth to the ensemble cast are talents like Blake Harrison, Lois Chimimba, Luke Fetherston, and Rich Fulcher. The series is brought to life by the creative minds of co-creators and writers Steve Burge (known for "Seekers") and Natalie Walter, along with Bryce Hart (from "Ten Percent"), who also contributes to the writing. The visual direction is expertly handled by BAFTA Award nominee John Addis (celebrated for "Lucky Break").
"Still Up" is a production of Various Artists Limited, crafted exclusively for Apple TV+. Behind the scenes, the series boasts an impressive lineup of executive producers, including BAFTA Award winner Paul Schlesinger ("Twenty Twelve"), Emmy Award winner Phil Clarke ("I May Destroy You"), and series producer Arabella McGuigan ("Brief Encounters").
