The project was originally set at HBO years ago, where Brothers and the 2010 follow-up The Pacific aired, but this time around the new series will be produced by Apple and air on Apple TV Plus, according to Variety. This is the first show Apple is producing under its own banner. During their runs, Band of Brothers and The Pacific combined to earn 43 Emmy nominations and 14 Emmy wins, including Outstanding Limited Series for each of them. Based on the book Masters of the Air: America’s Bomber Boys Who Fought the Air War Against Nazi Germany by Donald L. Miller, the new show will follow the American Eighth Air Force squadron in World War II and the pilots, crew members, officers, and soldiers who “brought the war to Hitler’s doorstep,” according to CNN. The series is expected to be over eight hours, and cost “north of $200 million to produce” overall.
