Apple TV+ shares first look featurette for 'Palmer,' coming Jan. 29

By Amber Neely

The cast and crew of upcoming life-after-prison drama "Palmer" sit down in a new featurette to discuss the Apple TV+ film's characters and narratives.

Apple's "Palmer" follows Eddie Palmer, who returns to his hometown after serving a 12-year-long prison sentence. While facing judgment and scorn from the community, he attempts to put his life back together, but everything changes when he meets Sam, a young boy who has been abandoned by his mother.

The two-minute-long featurette gives the audience a closer look at the relationship Eddie Palmer, played by Justin Timberlake, has with Sam. The cast remarks how a large part of the film's story will focus on acceptance and redemption.

"Second chances are possible," says Ryder Allen, the actor who plays Sam. "You can be whoever you wanna be."

"Palmer" joins Apple's growing library of shows, movies, and documentaries, including alternative-history drama "For All Mankind," psychological thriller "Servant," and sports comedy "Ted Lasso."

The movie is set to release on January 29 exclusively on Apple TV+.
