DESCRIPTION:
(from Apple's press release, August 2026) Today, Apple TV announced that it has picked up "Ascension," a new drama from multi-Oscar winner Alfonso Cuarón ("Disclaimer," "Roma," "Gravity") and starring and executive produced by BAFTA TV Award winner and five-time Golden Globe nominee Caitríona Balfe ("Outlander," "Belfast"). The series will be co-showrun by Natalie Erika James ("Apartment 7A," "Relic") and Christian White ("Apartment 7A," "Relic"), and is written by James, White, Alfonso Cuarón and Carlos Cuarón. James will also serve as lead director. The project hails from Apple Studios and is executive produced by Alfonso Cuarón under an overall deal with Apple through his production company Esperanto Filmoj and produced by Anonymous Content. Inspired by the novel "Last Days" by Adam Nevill, "Ascension" is a one-hour psychological horror thriller following Rose, a relentless documentary filmmaker and recently divorced mother who is brilliant at uncovering others' truths but struggling to resolve her own. When Rose begins a project on a mysterious 20th-century cult known as the Church of Ascension, she finds unexpected refuge in its teachings - until she discovers something far more insidious beneath. "Ascension" explores evil and innocence at the highest level, while asking how far we'll go - and what we'll sacrifice - to protect the ones we love, even when the greatest threat to them may be ourselves. |
