Apple TV+ will premiere Steven Spielberg’s spiritual successor to Band of Brothers and The Pacific on 26 January 2024, and there’s a new trailer to whet your appetite.

Their assignments were among the most dangerous in the Air Force during the war, and the series takes us through the raids, capture and an insight into the conditions in a German prisoner-of-war camp.

As with Band of Brothers and The Pacific, the show isn’t so much about the combat than the effect it has on the physical and psychological welfare of the men who experience it.

“[The series] is a salute to the brave men of the 8th Air Force, who, through their courage and brotherhood, helped defeat Nazi Germany in World War II,” said executive producer Gary Goetzman.

He, and the rest of the executive team, will be hoping Masters of the Air will repeat the critical success of Band of Brothers and The Pacific, which have Rotten Tomatoes scores of 97% and 91% respectively.
