Exclusive: Joseph Gordon-Levitt on creating, writing, directing and starring in Apple TV+ series Mr. Corman
Coming out this week on on Apple TV+ is “Mr. Corman,” by Creator, Writer, Executive Producer & Star Joseph Gordon-Levitt. The serieswill premiere globally on August 6, 2021 with the first two episodes of the ten-episode first season, followed by one new episode weekly, every Friday.
"Mr. Corman" follows the days and nights of Josh Corman (played by Gordon-Levitt), an artist at heart but not by trade. A career in music hasn’t panned out, and he teaches fifth grade at a public school in the San Fernando Valley. His ex-fiancé Megan has moved out, and his high school buddy Victor has moved in. He knows he has a lot to be thankful for, but finds himself struggling nevertheless through anxiety, loneliness, and a sinking suspicion that he sucks as a person. Darkly funny, oddly beautiful, and deeply heartfelt, this relatable dramedy speaks for our contemporary generation of 30-somethings: rich with good intentions, poor with student loans, and yearning to become real grown-ups sometime before they die.
Gordon-Levitt is best known for his lead and supporting roles in numerous films and TV series such as 3rd Rock from the Sun, Angels in the Outfield, 10 Things I Hate About You, Miracle at St. Anna, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, Inception, 500 Days of Summer, The Walk, Don Jon, which he wrote, directed and starred in, Snowden, and more recently The Trial of the Chicago 7.
