Amazon has assembled a first-class cast for its latest anthology series.
Uzo Aduba, Nicole Beharie, Morgan Freeman, Anne Hathaway, Anthony Mackie, Helen Mirren, Dan Stevens and Constance Wu will star Soils, a drama of hunters creator David Weil and Amazon Studios. The seven-part series, due to open later this year, will explore the deeper meaning of human connection through the individual’s lens.
“I am very excited to bring Soils to live alongside this group of artists that I deeply admire, “said Weil.” I created this piece with the desire to capture stories about connection, hope and the search for that common hum of humanity that unites us all. I am immensely grateful to [Amazon Studios head] Jennifer Salke and my incredible Amazon partners for their unwavering support and collaboration on this special project. “
Soils will tell stories based on characters that take place at different times in time and aims to show that during the most isolated moments of people, and in different circumstances, human experience connects everyone.
Weil, who has a general contract with Amazon, will act as a showrunner and executive producer with Sam Taylor-Johnson and Laura Lancaster. Pixie Wespiser is the producer. Taylor-Johnson (Fifty Shades of grey) will direct two episodes; Weil, Zach Braff and Tiffany Johnson are also expected to direct.
