Spoiler Alert! This post contains details from the first three episodes of Apple TV+’s Extrapolations.
Daveed Diggs plays a rabbi grappling with the realities of the climate crisis in Scott Z. Burns’ series Extrapolations for Apple TV+.
When audiences first meet him, Rabbi Marshall Zucker is newly ordained and set on serving a congregation in Tel Aviv. He’s passionate about his religion and also about saving the world, specifically from the climate crisis. But in Episode 3, which is set 10 years later, things clearly haven’t worked out as planned. Now, he’s back in his hometown of Miami.
He’s doing much less saving the world and more pandering to the Department of Sea Level Mitigation, hoping that they will zone the synagogue to be saved from sea-level rise and flooding — and his sermons are noticeably less passionate than they used to be.

In the opening minutes of Apple TV+’s Extrapolations, a young environmental activist (Yara Shahidi) prepares to make a speech about the need for action on climate change. As she waits for the cameras to go live, an associate casually asks if she needs anything. Her not-at-all casual response: “For people to listen.”
Thus the tone is set for the rest of the series: serious, heavy and mostly lacking in nuance. The urgency of its message is self-evidently important enough that no expense has been spared in delivering it. The cast is star-studded, and the production design lavish. But all this gravitas comes at the expense of the human characters who should be at the center of its stories, turning the series into a well-intentioned but mostly dry series of discussions.
In fairness, if there’s any writer who’s earned the right to expect people to heed his predictions about the future,...

When it comes to environmental storytelling, there’s several different routes a project can take. Some have opted for scaring an audience into action (like Adam McKay’s Don’t Look Up) while others have tried to Trojan horse climate messages into more uplifting fare, or take a more by-the-numbers documentary approach.
For Extrapolations, Apple TV+’s new anthology drama following eight different stories of people’s lives upended by climate change, creator Scott Z. Burns is taking inspiration from another future-looking anthology series, as star Kit Harington recalled how “Scott always described this to me as a kind of Black Mirror of a climate change show, and I think it falls in that.”
“There are thriller elements to it, there are horror elements to it and it should scare you, and it will scare you, but it’s also really thought-provoking,” Harington told The Hollywood Reporter at the show’s Los Angeles premiere on Tuesday.

After watching the trailer for Apple TV+’s Extrapolations it’s obvious that Timothée Chalamet has a legitimate grievance. (Watch his Apple TV+ “Call Me” ad on YouTube.) Apple TV+ has attracted pretty much every big-name actor yet Chalamet still hasn’t received an invitation. Just in Extrapolations alone, they’ve got Meryl Streep, Edward Norton, Diane Lane, Tobey Maguire, Forest Whitaker, and dozens more. What gives, Apple TV+?
The cast of the eight-episode limited series also includes Sienna Miller, Kit Harington, Daveed Diggs, Yara Shahidi, Matthew Rhys, Gemma Chan, David Schwimmer, Keri Russell, Adarsh Gourav, Indira Varma, and Marion Cotillard. Plus, Heather Graham, Tahar Rahim, Neska Rose, Judd Hirsch, Cherry Jones, Michael Gandolfini, Hari Nef, Eiza González, Ben Harper, Murray Bartlett, and MaameYaa Boafo star.
Extrapolations will premiere on March 17, 2023 with the release of the first three episodes. Additional episodes will arrive on Fridays leading up to the April 21st finale.

It's not something any of us want to confront, but thanks to Apple TV+, climate change is at the forefront of a new prestige drama called "Extrapolations" — and the streamer has released the series' first trailer.
In the sneak peek, we are introduced to a world where some of our woes are solved — the trailer asserts that cancer has been cured — but others are only just beginning. Earth is now ravaged by the effects of climate change, and it is up to those of us left to try to find a way forward for human survival.
The series was written and directed by Scott Z. Burns (the writer of "Contagion" and director of "The Report"), and will unfold over an eight-episode season of interconnected stories. Its official synopsis reads:
"Extrapolations" is a bracing limited series that introduces a near future where the chaotic effects of climate change have become embedded into our everyday lives.

"What makes you think the world is going to get better??" Apple has revealed an official trailer for a new near-future series called Extrapolations, from writer Scott Z. Burns. I wouldn't call this sci-fi, because it's much more sci-real, a vitally important and scary look at what's going to happen when climate change really takes over. The series features "unanticipated stories of how the upcoming changes to our planet will affect love, faith, work and family on a personal and human scale." It's written by and showrun by the same guy who wrote the scripts for The Informant, Contagion, Side Effects, The Mercy, and The Laundromat, so he definitely knows what he's talking about here. "Are we brave enough to become the solution to our own undoing before it’s too late?" The series features a massive ensemble cast: Meryl Streep, Sienna Miller, Kit Harington, Daveed Diggs, Edward Norton, Diane Lane,...

Apple released the trailer for its new climate change-focused drama series “Extrapolations” from writer Scott Z. Burns.
“Today, people get their energy from the sun. Humans have set foot on Mars,” Daveed Diggs’ Marshall Zucker says at the beginning of the clip, as a montage of technological advancements unfolds. “Cancer has been defeated. And yet for every question answered another one appears.”
Cut to two businessmen in a restaurant while one (Matthew Rhys) advises the other on the state of the planet.
“Here’s what you need to know about global warming,” he says. “It will all go to s— at the end of the century. We’ll be dead. We’ll have to miss it, but we’ll be smiling in gold plated coffins.”
