Ayo Edebiri and Will Sharpe to Lead Rom-Com Series ‘Prodigies’ for Apple TV+


Will Sharpe and Ayo Edebiri are set to unite in the new rom-com series "Prodigies" for Apple TV+.

Sharpe, who made a major splash with “The White Lotus” and was recently seen taking Jesse Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin on a tour of Poland in “A Real Pain,” created the seven-episode comedy and will write and direct. The story follows Didi (Edebiri) and Ren (Sharpe), two ex-child prodigies who have been together since they were children and, now in their early 30s, are starting to question whether their very ordinary existence is living up to the extraordinary promise of their childhood. “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,” the synopsis reads.
