Who was Benjamin Franklin really? Franklin, starring and executive produced by Academy, Emmy, and AFI Lifetime Achievement Award winner Michael Douglas, is now streaming on Apple TV+ apple.co/_Franklin
Based on Pulitzer Prize winner Stacy Schiff’s book, “A Great Improvisation: Franklin, France, and the Birth of America,” Franklin explores the thrilling story of the greatest gamble of Benjamin Franklin’s career. In December 1776, Franklin is world famous for his electrical experiments, but his passion and power are put to the test when - as the fate of American independence hangs in the balance - he embarks on a secret mission to France.
The drama also stars Noah Jupe (“A Quiet Place”) as Temple Franklin, Thibault de Montalembert (“Call My Agent!”) as Comte de Vergennes, Daniel Mays (“Line of Duty”) as Edward Bancroft, Ludivine Sagnier (“Lupin”) as Madame Brillon, Eddie Marsan (“Ray Donovan”) as John Adams, Assaad Bouab (“Call My Agent!”) as Beaumarchais, Jeanne Balibar (“Irma Vep”) as Madame Helvetius and Theodore Pellerin (“There’s Someone Inside Your House”) as Marquis de Lafayette.

My favorite of all the Founding Fathers. He went to France and "brought home the bacon" for our infant nation. Without the bold courage, relentless determination, bulldog tenacity, vast intelligence and prodigious wisdom of Benjamin Franklin, the United States would *NOT* exist. I hope this Apple-TV series is the long-overdue visual tribute he so richly deserves. With Michael Douglas as executive producer and starring in the role, it should be spectacular.

Well said. I’m surprised more people don’t know how France basically won the Revolutionary war for us and we got them back in WW2.

@@brandonsimmons1695 Most people do know that without French and Spanish help the war would not have been won. At least that's how the history is known in the UK and Europe, maybe the history is understood differently across the pond - which would be understandable I guess because the Revolution was a marvellous achievement and I say that as a Brit.

It also helps that he executive produced this too! A lot of people tend to forget that he began his career actually as a producer before becoming big as an actor.

@@stevenweikert7062The FRANKLIN miniseries is based on the book A GREAT IMPROVISATION: FRANKLIN, FRANCE, AND THE BIRTH OF AMERICA by Stacy Schiff. Like McCullough, Schiff is also a Pulitzer Prize winner, in addition to many other honors she’s received for her work. Being that her book isn’t a biography but instead focused on a specific time and goal in Franklin’s life, I think it more likely that this miniseries will be superior to JOHN ADAMS. It already has a far more dramatic premise from the start.
