Husband-and-wife duo Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon, the Oscar-nominated screenwriters for the indie hit The Big Sick as well as producers from Master of None and SMILF, are developing Little America, an immigration-themed anthology series for Apple, Deadline announced.
Little America is a half-hour anthology series written by SMILF executive producer Lee Eisenberg, who will serve as the showrunner, and Nanjiani and Gordon.
Apple currently has a slate of straight-to-series orders, like Little America, as well as other projects that are being developed for straight-to-series consideration.
Eisenberg will executive produce the series, with Joshuah Bearman and Joshua Davis acting as executive producers for Epic Magazine alongside co-EP Arthur Spector.
