'Masters of the Air' is a resounding success
Featuring a stellar cast including Austin Butler, Callum Turner, and Anthony Boyle, among others, Masters of the Air has not only impressed audiences but critics alike. Something we could already tell from the launch of its first trailer.
This miniseries, an adaptation of Donald L. Miller's book of the same name, is executive produced by Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks, and Gary Goetzman. It narrates the dangerous bombing missions over Nazi Germany carried out by the 100th Bomb Group during World War II.
Although Apple's streaming service has not disclosed exact figures, it told Variety that since its launch, Masters of the Air has not only dominated Apple TV+'s viewership charts but also led to a 65% increase in the platform's global audience. And this phenomenon is not limited to certain regions: the platform has experienced double-digit growth in over 100 countries within a week.
The success of Masters of the Air promises viewers a series that combines impactful narrative and realism to create an experience filled with drama, history, and humanity. Currently, the first 5 episodes of Masters of the Air are available on Apple TV+.
