Rashida Jones to befriend a robot in Apple TV+'s Sunny

Deadline

Apple has given a 10-episode order to Sunny, a half-hour darkly comedic drama based on Japan-based Irish author Colin O'Sullivan's novel The Dark Manual. Written by Katie Robbins, Sunny stars Jones as Suzie, "an American woman living in Kyoto, Japan, whose life is upended when her husband and son disappear in a mysterious plane crash," per Deadline. "As 'consolation' she’s given Sunny, one of a new class of domestic robots made by her husband’s electronics company. Though at first Suzie resents Sunny’s attempts to fill the void in her life, gradually they develop an unexpected friendship, as together they uncover the dark truth of what really happened to Suzie’s family, becoming dangerously enmeshed in a world Suzie never knew existed."
