AppleTV+ has released the trailer to “Come From Away," the filmed version of the award-winning Broadway musical. “Come From Away” will premiere globally on Apple TV+ on September 10, 2021
The musical tells the story of 7,000 people stranded in the small town of Gander, Newfoundland after all flights into the US are grounded on September 11, 2001.
