Apple TV+ has released the Masters of the Air trailer for the World War II series led by Austin Butler and Barry Keoghan. The show is set to debut its first two episodes on the streaming platform on Friday, January 26, 2024, followed by one new episode every Friday through March 15, 2024.
The series “follows the men of the 100th Bomb Group (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,” reveals the official description. “Portraying the psychological and emotional price paid by these young men as they helped destroy the horror of Hitler’s Third Reich is at the heart of Masters of the Air. Some were shot down and captured; some were wounded or killed. And some were lucky enough to make it home. Regardless of individual fate, a toll was exacted on them all.”
