“Raise your hand if you think you’re a lucky person.” That’s the sound of Joseph Gordon-Levitt heading to Apple TV+ for new comedy Mr Corman – and a new trailer gives us a first look at the series.

Created by, directed by and starring the Looper star, the 10-episode series follows the days and nights of Josh Corman, played by Gordon-Levitt, an artist at heart but not by trade. A career in music hasn’t panned out, and he teaches fifth grade at a public school in the San Fernando Valley. His ex-fiancé Megan has moved out and his high school buddy Victor has moved in. He knows he has a lot to be thankful for, but finds himself struggling nevertheless through anxiety, loneliness and a sinking suspicion that he sucks as a person. Darkly funny and deeply heartfelt, the dramedy aims to speak for a contemporary generation of 30-somethings – rich with good intentions, poor with student loans and yearning to become real grown-ups sometime before they die.

The series will debut on Apple TV+ on Friday 6th August, with the first three episodes available at once, followed by new episodes weekly on Fridays. Here’s the trailer:

 

Mr Corman is available on Apple TV+, as part of a £4.99 monthly subscription, with a seven-day free trial. For more information on Apple TV+ and how to get it, click here.
