Who was Benjamin Franklin really? Franklin, starring and executive produced by Academy, Emmy, and AFI Lifetime Achievement Award winner Michael Douglas, is now streaming on Apple TV+ apple.co/_Franklin

Based on Pulitzer Prize winner Stacy Schiff’s book, “A Great Improvisation: Franklin, France, and the Birth of America,” Franklin explores the thrilling story of the greatest gamble of Benjamin Franklin’s career. In December 1776, Franklin is world famous for his electrical experiments, but his passion and power are put to the test when — as the fate of American independence hangs in the balance — he embarks on a secret mission to France.

The drama also stars Noah Jupe (“A Quiet Place”) as Temple Franklin, Thibault de Montalembert (“Call My Agent!”) as Comte de Vergennes, Daniel Mays (“Line of Duty”) as Edward Bancroft, Ludivine Sagnier (“Lupin”) as Madame Brillon, Eddie Marsan (“Ray Donovan”) as John Adams, Assaad Bouab (“Call My Agent!”) as Beaumarchais, Jeanne Balibar (“Irma Vep”) as Madame Helvetius and Theodore Pellerin (“There’s Someone Inside Your House”) as Marquis de Lafayette.

  • My favorite of all the Founding Fathers. He went to France and "brought home the bacon" for our infant nation. Without the bold courage, relentless determination, bulldog tenacity, vast intelligence and prodigious wisdom of Benjamin Franklin, the United States would NOT exist. I hope this Apple-TV series is the long-overdue visual tribute he so richly deserves. With Michael Douglas as executive producer and starring in the role, it should be spectacular.
  • @rogerkincaid931
    Glad to see Douglas in the lead. An actor his age, starring in a production this big is quite rare.
  • @OsmXn
    One thing you can always rely on Apple TV is the visuals.
  • @VoiceNerd
    Interesting casting choice. I remember Tom Wilkinson and he absolutely killed it. (RIP). Interested to see how Douglas portrays the icon of American history.
  • I have been waiting for Michael Douglas to get a role worthy of his abilities, one he can sink his teeth into. His incredible talents have been squandered for far too long. I cannot wait to see this!
  • @methos-ey9nf
    Dude had such a remarkable life. that it's shocking how long it's taken for there to be a big screen adaptation about Benjamin Franklin.
  • @ugtrckrlld2p2
    There was so much more to Benjamin Franklin's life than just his time in France.
  • @falcon3103
    Apple suddenly came into the movie/show business and has been killing it ever since. Really impressive how they deliver good stuff every time...
  • @MrTway88
    Unless it's specifically stated, it's getting harder to tell from trailers when something is a movie, a mini-series, or a full tv series.
  • @Brejan
    Let's hope it's at least half as good as the John Adams HBO miniseries was.
  • @jacobbailey4810
    I’m glad they are making a show about Benjamin Franklin because he was one of the important founding fathers and he was a brilliant scientist
  • @19jacj27
    Apple TV+ has been on a roll, man! Quality products! It’s becoming up there with HBO. Netflix is definitely outclassed by a long shot in quality.
  • @danielf986
    The Cinematography is stunning. Looks like a painting.
  • @ErictheCleric1
    Me: can’t wait for a respectful and honest look at one of the greatest men in American history. Franklin: AUSTIN DANGER POWERS.
  • @barneseffect
    I will never understand why anybody hasn't made a Napoleon/Franklin-esque gritty movie about George Washington.
  • @Alfredul03
    Very happy to see a first-class actor like Michael Douglas and it is interesting because with him on board this series, it will be much more interesting and exciting. IMHO!

    Loving all the historical shows recently! Manhunt, Masters of the Air
