Get ready to pack up and head to the moon in the latest Apple TV Plus original series, Hello Tomorrow! This sci-fi drama/comedy is just one of the many new TV shows coming to Apple TV Plus in 2023, though it features a familiar face for the streaming service in star Billy Crudup.

The series is co-created by Amit Bhalla and Lucas Jansen, who have previous experience writing for the show Bloodline. Crudup, in addition to his starring role, is also serving as an executive producer on the show.

Hello Tomorrow! release date

Apple TV Plus rolls out Hello Tomorrow! on Friday, February 17, releasing the first three episodes at once. The half-hour show is set to feature 10 episodes, with one releasing each week after its premiere; that means it’ll wrap up on April 7.

It was early 2022 that Apple TV Plus released Severance into the world, quickly becoming a hit. Can Hello Tomorrow! do the same?

Hello Tomorrow! plot

Here is the official synopsis for Hello Tomorrow!:

"Set in a retro-future world, Hello Tomorrow! centers around a group of traveling salesmen hawking lunar timeshares. Billy Crudup stars as Jack, a salesman of great talent and ambition, whose unshakeable faith in a brighter tomorrow inspires his coworkers, revitalizes his desperate customers, but threatens to leave him dangerously lost in the very dream that sustains him."

Sounds like an interesting, high-concept premise. The good news is they look to have the kind of cast that can pull it off.
