Last April, Apple TV announced the new eight-episode comedic drama “The Husbands,” starring SAG and BAFTA Award winner Juno Temple (“Ted Lasso,” “Fargo,” “Atonement”), from A24, and adapted from award-winning author and games designer Holly Gramazio’s New York Times bestselling book of the same name.
When Lauren (Temple) returns home to her flat in London late one night, she is greeted at the door by her husband, Michael. There’s only one problem — she’s never seen this man before in her life. As Lauren tries to puzzle out how she could be married to someone she can’t remember meeting, Michael goes to the attic to change a lightbulb and abruptly disappears. In his place, a new husband emerges. Realizing that her attic is creating an infinite supply of husbands, Lauren confronts the question: If swapping lives is as easy as changing a lightbulb, how do you know you’ve taken the right path? When do you stop trying to do better and start actually living?
Stewart Clarke for Deadline:
With an attic of husbands to cast over eight episodes, Apple and A24 have put together an impressive lineup, which leans heavily on British talent. Alwyn recently starred in Hamnet, and is joined in the cast by Gadd, who is also about to appear in Half Man, his next show after Netflix smash hit Baby Reindeer.
Ben-Adir’s credits include Bob Marley: One Love and Barbie, while U.S.-Swedish star Kinnaman is currently in multiple streaming shows including Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole and For All Mankind. Ings, meanwhile, is recently off A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, Balogun starred in Down Cemetery Road and Australian actor Morley was in The 100.
