Apple TV+ has ordered “The Supermodels,” an unparalleled event docuseries that will feature exclusive access to and interviews with Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista and Christy Turlington, who will revisit their iconic modeling careers and collective disruption of the ‘90s fashion scene, which continues to reverberate today. Hailing from Imagine Documentaries, the project will be directed and executive produced by two-time Academy Award winner Barbara Kopple (“Harlan County, USA,” “American Dream,” “Shut Up and Sing”), and executive produced by Brian Grazer and Ron Howard, along with Campbell, Crawford, Evangelista and Turlington, who have joined in an unprecedented partnership on the series.
“The Supermodels” travels back to the 1980s, when four women from different corners of the world united in New York. Already forces in their own right, the gravitas they achieved by coming together transcended the industry itself. Their prestige was so extraordinary that it enabled the four to supersede the brands they showcased, making the names Naomi, Cindy, Linda and Christy as prominent as the designers who styled them. Today, the four supermodels remain on the frontlines of culture through activism, philanthropy and business prowess. As the fashion industry continues to redefine itself – and women’s roles within it – this is the ultimate story of power and how four women came together to claim it, paving the way for those to follow.
The docuseries, which is produced under Apple’s exclusive first-look agreement with Imagine Documentaries, will also be executive produced by Sara Bernstein and Justin Wilkes.
“The Supermodels” will join Apple’s expanding offering of acclaimed, award-winning documentaries and docuseries, including the soon-to-premiere “Bruce Springsteen’s Letter to You”; “Billie Eilish: The World’s A Little Blurry,” directed by award-winning filmmaker R.J. Cutler; five-time Emmy Award-nominated “Beastie Boys Story”; Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize Award-winning “Boys State”; Emmy Award-nominated series “Home”; and “Dads,” a heartfelt documentary which is also from Imagine Documentaries and is now streaming globally on Apple TV+.

MacDailyNews Take: The more high-quality content available for a widely varied audience, the better for Apple TV+.
Ah the good old days….
Cindy Crawford is the only pretty one of the four, but they’re all airheads anyway.
Superficial Apple.
The others must be some new definition of ugly I was previously unacquainted with
Who did I call ugly?
I’d suspect Netflix wishes it went this route vs the toddler-model show.
Their dimwittedness is receiving a just reward.
How un-woke of them.
I have to say that I generally have not been enamored with the choice of shows Apple has made. Switched off the morning show after 15 min of ranting and raving (the actors not me). See was okay but the premise is still lame (Blind humans would all die out pretty quickly or get predated). For all mankind is pretty good except history didn’t work that way.
I certainly will not watch a show about supermodels.
For All Mankind is an alternative history programme. In other words it’s a “what if” series.
The best overall shows on Netflix have been the Korean shows (who knew), however the selection of Nordic shows has been lacking.
And Apple selection has lacking also.
Sorry is lacking…
