Apple has reached an agreement with well-known director M. Night Shyamalan to create a 10-episode psychological thriller that it will offer through its streaming video service, thus adding to the long list of productions that Apple has confirmed, from the inside, in the last weeks and / or months.
As is usual, Apple has not provided data in this regard, but it has been the publication Variety, who has reported about this new production. According to Variety, The script will be in charge of Tony Basgallop and the executive producer will be Shyamalan through his company Shyamalan's Blinding Edge Pictures.
This first season, It will consist of 10 episodes of 30 minutes durationTaking into account that it is for Apple's streaming service, the 30 minutes will be real, not as it happens with most American series that announce a similar duration, counting with the time allocated to advertisements, so it is really 20 minutes. duration of the series,
The first episode will be directed by Shyamalan himself. This not the indian director's first foray into television, since his first production project was Wayward Pines for Fox, a series that should have ended in the first season but that was extended to a second that was left over, at least in my personal opinion.
M. Night Shyamalan is best known for being the director of films like The sixth sense, Signs, Split and Unbreakable. This new series is part of the investment that Apple has planned to create its own content, an investment of around 1.000 million dollars and that to this day we still do not know how it plans to output it, through Apple Music, or by creating a new streaming video service, a service that will initially be very limited in terms of titles.
