More than a decade in the making, Masters of the Air is landing on Apple TV+ this week. Featuring an all-star cast that includes Golden Globe-winning actor Austin Butler, Callum Turner, and Saltburn star Barry Keoghan, the extravagant, thrilling second world war drama is looking set to become the year’s first must-watch series.
Watch Masters of the Air on Jan. 26
Following 2001’s Band of Brothers and 2010’s The Pacific, Masters of the Air is the third entry in the WWII miniseries franchise co-executive produced by Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman. Creators John Orloff and John Shiban adapt author Donald L. Miller’s 2006 gripping account of the Eighth Air Force’s 100th Bomb Group for an epic retelling of a true story.
According to the official synopsis, Masters of the Air follows the group known as The Bloody Hundredth “as they conduct perilous bombing raids over Nazi Germany and grapple with the frigid conditions, lack of oxygen and sheer terror of combat conducted at 25,000 feet in the air.”
The new series also stars Anthony Boyle, Sawyer Spielberg, Stephen Campbell Moore, Isabel May, Ncuti Gatwa, Raff Law, and many more. Here’s everything you need to know about when and where to stream Masters of the Air.
