The pop singer and actress Hailee Steinfeld has played the lead role in the upcoming Apple TV+ half-hour “Dickinson”. Not only she plays a role in the show but she is also the executive producer of the show. Hailee says that her music career will help in the show’s marketing appeal and its sensibility.
The show had its first screening at the Tribeca TV Festival on 15th September 15, 2019, Saturday. This is also the first time for Apple showing any streaming series to the public. Hailee Steinfeld has also recorded a song named “Afterlife”. This song will be released on September 19 before the launch of the Apple TV+ on the 1st of November.
The plot of the show is based on the life of the poet Emily Dickinson. The viewers will get to experience the world of Emily. They will get to experience societal constraints like society, family, and gender from her imaginative perspective.
Death is played by Rapper Wiz Khalifa and the soundtrack of the show is filled with chartbusters artists like Billie Eilish.
The official world premiere of the show is set to take place in a few weeks. Steinfeld said, “It truly reflects everything that’s in her poetry, which is everything there is to feel. The music was one thing that stood out to me about this project.” She added, “or me, what’s special has been working with Apple and Apple Music.”
Hailee also said that she is extremely proud of the music that she has made. Also, after playing the character, she is now more confident about her writing and her art.
The creator of the show, Alena Smith said that liberties had to be taken with the life of the poet to keep the viewer grabbed.
The show produced for Apple TV+ is all set to be released on November 1.
