Michael Douglas brings Benjamin Franklin to life in Apple TV+’s new historical drama series, “Franklin,” based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book “A Great Improvisation: Franklin, France and the Birth of America.”
The series tells the story of one of Franklin’s biggest gambles of his career, a secret mission to France. Known already for his experiments with electricity, Franklin takes a risk as American independence hangs in the balance. Douglas stars and executive produces the show, with Noah Jupe (“Ford v Ferrari”) at his side as his son Temple Franklin.
