Michaela Jae, also known as MJ Rodríguez, known for her award-winning turn at Netflix's "Pose" has signed an as-yet-untitled Apple TV + comedy series starring Maya Rudolph. As reported by the specialized newspaper Deadline, Mj Rodríguez will perform with Rudolph a half hour comedy created by Alan Yang and Matt Hubbard.
Apple continues to generate content. This is starting to get serious, we know there is still a long way to go, but then the content you are generating is new and, as we always say, of quality. You may like it more or less, but what we have clear is that it is nourishing itself with new productions, something that is to be appreciated. The latter seems to be a comedy starring two excellent actresses.
Rudolph plays Molly, a woman whose seemingly perfect life took a radical turn after her husband left her with "nothing more" than $ 87.000 billion. Rodríguez will take on the role of Sofía, a hard-working executive director of a nonprofit organization funded by Molly. We know that Apple already got the rights to the series in March. However, we still do not know anything about the possible release date or better yet, the possible start date of production.
Rodríguez in 2019 became the first trans woman to win the awards for the best television actress in the Image Awards. Before "Pose," Rodriguez played roles in "Nurse Jackie" and "Luke Cage," and starred in the independent film "Saturday Church."
The Apple TV + comedy starring Rudolph and Rodriguez is written, created and produced by Yang and Hubbard, both Emmy award winners. Yang worked on "Master of None" and the Apple TV + exclusive "Little America." While Hubbard wrote episodes of "30 Rock", "Parks and Recreation" and "Forever".
