Will Sharpe and Ayo Edebiri Star in AppleTV+ Rom-Com ‘Prodigies’

Will Sharpe and Ayo Edebiri have been announced as the lead couple in an exciting new rom-com series on AppleTV+ called “Prodigies.” The show, which consists of seven episodes, will be written and directed by Sharpe, known for his work on “The White Lotus” and “A Real Pain,” and will also feature Edebiri as an executive producer.

Produced by Sister, the rom-com will delve into the complexities of long-term relationships through the unique perspective of a very special couple. The series revolves around Didi (played by Edebiri) and Ren (played by Sharpe), two former child prodigies who have been together since childhood. Now in their early thirties, they begin to question whether their ordinary lives are living up to the extraordinary promise of their youth. This introspection extends to their relationship as well. As their individual aspirations and desires intersect and clash with their shared life, the show challenges the typical romantic narrative that ends when the couple gets together. Instead, “Prodigies” suggests that this is just the beginning of the journey.

In addition to their on-screen roles, Sharpe and Edebiri’s involvement as producers adds another layer of authenticity and creativity to the project. With their unique perspectives and experiences, they are sure to bring a fresh and engaging dynamic to the series.
