Morgan Freeman, Anne Hathaway, Helen Mirren and Uzo Aduba among 8 actors in David Weil’s Amazon series “ Solos ” – Deadline

A star cast is ready for Solos, a series of dramatic anthologies by Hunters creator David Weil and Amazon Studios. Oscar-winning actors Morgan Freeman, Anne Hathaway and Helen Mirren, Emmy winner Uzo Aduba, Nicole Beharie, Anthony Mackie, Dan Stevens and Constance Wu will star in the series which premieres later this year on Amazon Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories around the world.

The previously untitled project had been around for some time when it received a serial order in October 2020.

Solos is a dramatic and stimulating seven-part anthology series that explores the deep meaning of human connection, as explored through the lens of the individual. Solos will tell unique character-driven stories, each from a different perspective and at a different time, that illustrate that even during our seemingly most isolated times, in the most disparate circumstances, we are all connected through the human experience.

Aduba will play Sasha; Beharie will represent Nera; Freeman is Stuart; Hathaway represents Leah; Mackie is Tom; Mirren will play Peg; Stevens describes Otto and Wu will play Jenny.

Executive Weil produces with Sam Taylor-Johnson (Gypsy) and the former president of the Alcon TV group, Laura Lancaster (The extent), with Pixie Wespiser as producer. Taylor-Johnson is directing two episodes alongside Weil, who will make his directorial debut on the series. Additional directors include Zach Braff and Tiffany Johnson.

“I am delighted to bring Solos live alongside this group of artists that I admire so deeply. I created this piece with the desire to capture stories about connecting, hoping, and finding that common hum of humanity that binds us all together. I am extremely grateful to Jennifer Salke and my amazing Amazon partners for their continued support and collaboration on this special project, ”Weil said.
