Apple Launches In-House Studio With 'Band of Brothers'/'The Pacific' Follow-Up

Masters focuses the aerial wars through the eyes of enlisted men of the Eighth Air Force — known as the men of the Mighty Eighth — and who brought the war to HItler's doorstep. The drama arrives two decades after HBO won six Emmys (out of a whopping 19 nominations) for Band of Brothers and its 2010 sequel, The Pacific, which scored 24 noms and a leading eight wins.

All of the producers behind both Brothers and Pacific are slated to return for the new installment. Tom Hanks, Gary Goetzman and Steven Spielberg will exec produce for Hanks and Goetzman's Playtone and the latter's Amblin Television, respectively.
 
Watched recently Band of Brothers and Pacific. I need this.
 
Loved Band of Brothers- looking back at it, that show had one hell of a cast with a lot of real big names today- but I never did get around to The Pacific. Heard it was good, though.

Pacific is really good, IMO.
 
Because The Pacific followed three individual Marines roughly linked to one regiment instead of the single company in The Band of Brothers it didn't have the same impact with me. Or perhaps I just transferred inter-service rivalry to miniseries.

I do wonder what the format of Masters of the Air will be, one crew on its 25 missions or a larger focus?
 
Judging by the release of Greyhound and Apple ruthlessly holding on to their exclusive content, unlike HBO eventually releasing Band of Brothers on DVD, there might be the too many subscriptions to buy prejudice that will cut the impact of Master of the Air.
 
This looks really good. I hope it lives to the reputation of the previous two series in HBO.
 
Anyone watching this? Saw the first 3 episodes
 
I'm enjoying this show. Really goof compliment to the other WWII dramas.
