Apple TV+ has greenlit Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed, a new thriller series starring Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law). The show is described as a “darkly comedic thriller.”
Here’s the Lowdown: The 10-episode series follows a recently divorced mother who gets caught up in a messy situation involving blackmail, murder, and youth soccer. David J. Rosen (Citadel, Sugar) created the show and will serve as writer and showrunner. David Gordon Green (The Righteous Gemstones) will direct and executive produce.
What This Means Now: This adds another high-profile project to Apple TV+’s growing lineup of original series. Maslany’s involvement is a significant draw, given her acclaimed performances in previous roles.
The Bigger Picture: Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed is a collaboration between Apple Studios and Counterpart Studios, with additional involvement from Genre Films (Simon Kinberg and Audrey Chon) and Anonymous Content (Bard Dorros). The series’ premise – combining dark comedy with a thriller storyline – is becoming a popular subgenre. The premiere date will be announced by Apple at a later point.
