“What are you hiding from me?” Yep, I’m intrigued. Apple TV has unveiled the official trailer for a new sci-fi mystery series titled Sunny, ready for a streaming debut this summer in July on Apple TV+. Yet another clever sci-fi series from this streamer! Love it. “There’s no manual for investigating your missing family. But there is Sunny.” Based on Colin O’Sullivan’s novel “The Dark Manual“, the series follows Suzie, an American woman living in Kyoto, Japan. It also stars Sunny, a domestic robot made by her husband’s company, which is gifted to her after his death. Together they uncover the dark truth of what really happened to Suzie’s husband and son who disappeared in a mysterious plane crash, becoming dangerously enmeshed in a world that she never knew existed. Rashida Jones stars as Suzie, along with Hidetoshi Nishijima, Joanna Sotomura as Sunny, Judy Ongg, You as Hime, annie the clumsy as Mixxy, and Jun Kunimura. Aside from how much this makes me want to get back to Japan, I enjoy a good “what is really going on?” mystery.
