Apple TV+ revealed more about the series in a press release.<\/p>\n

Apple TV+ today unveiled the trailer for \u201cFranklin,\u201d the upcoming, eight-part limited series starring and executive produced by Academy, Emmy and AFI Lifetime Achievement Award winner Michael Douglas. Led by Douglas in the title role of Benjamin Franklin, \u201cFranklin\u201d will premiere globally on Apple TV+ with the first three episodes on Friday, April 12,<\/strong> followed by one new episode every Friday through May 17, 2024.<\/p>\n

Based on Pulitzer Prize winner Stacy Schiff\u2019s book, \u201cA Great Improvisation: Franklin, France, and the Birth of America,\u201d \u201cFranklin\u201d explores the thrilling story of the greatest gamble of Benjamin Franklin\u2019s career. In December 1776, Franklin is world famous for his electrical experiments, but his passion and power are put to the test when \u2014 as the fate of American independence hangs in the balance \u2014 he embarks on a secret mission to France.<\/p>\n

At age 70, without any diplomatic training, Franklin convinced an absolute monarchy to underwrite America\u2019s experiment in democracy. By virtue of his fame, charisma and ingenuity, Franklin outmaneuvered British spies, French informers and hostile colleagues to engineer the Franco-American Alliance of 1778 and the peace treaty with Great Britain in 1783.<\/p>\n

The eight-year French mission stands as Franklin\u2019s most vital service to his country. Diplomats and historians still regard it as the greatest single tour of duty by an ambassador in our nation\u2019s history, as without French aid, America could not have won the Revolution.<\/p>\n
