One of Apple TV+’s most intriguing offerings this year has been the retro sci-fi series, “Hello tomorrow!“, which was launched on February 17, 2023. It offers a slightly more sinister look at an alternative post-war America in the 1950s, where technology advanced at a much faster rate and contrary peddlers ethics sell lunar timeshare scams.
Check out our exclusive clip from the penultimate episode of upcoming Season 1 titled “Certain Forces Once Unleashed”, directed by Stacie Passon and airing Friday, March 31, 2023.
Created by Amit Bhalla and Lucas Jansen, the 10-episode Apple TV+ drama is a brilliant look at a superficial world where space age inventions like flying cars, jet packs, moon excursions, self-popping popcorn, videophones, automatic dog walkers and service industry robots make everyday life something straight out of magazines of golden age sci-fi, Saturday morning soap operas and comic books.

Starring Emmy Award-winning Billy Crudup as Jack, a charismatic middle-aged salesman commanding a team of crooks selling fake moon residences in an imaginary lunar colony optimistically named Brightside, ” Hello Tomorrow!” explores universal humanist themes of hope and salvation alongside an interesting examination of the dark side of the American capitalist dream.
Eddie (Hank Azaria), Herb (Dewshane Williams) and Shirley (Haneefah Wood) join the cast of this “Madmen” meets “The Jetsons” type show as sidekicks to Jack’s sleazy real estate business who carry a crowd of personal secrets and their own desires. Alison Pill, Nicholas Podany, Jacki Weaver, Dagmara Domińczyk, Michael Paul Chan and Matthew Maher also co-star.
