Apple TV+ is set to tackle the human toll of climate change with scripted series Extrapolations from Scott Z. Burns

Variety

Extrapolations, a scripted anthology series, is expected to tell “intimate stories of how the upcoming changes to our planet will affect love, faith, work and family on a personal and human scale.” Burns says of his potential series: “Most of the storytelling around climate change has focused on the science and getting people to accept it. Our aim with Extrapolations is to move beyond science and use drama, comedy, mystery and every other genre to allow us to consider how every aspect of our world is going to be changing in the years ahead. We can all speculate on precisely what is coming in terms of temperature increase or sea level rise or climate-driven human migration…but what we know for sure is that– no matter what– we are all going to be there, together, with our foibles, our dreams, our appetites and our other issues. The climate is going to change, are we?”
