------------------------------------------------------------
Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Darren Aronofsky (The Whale) has
officially released an animated short-form TV show about the
American Revolution through his AI studio Primordial Soup. Titled
as On This Day... 1776, the AI TV show's official trailer and first
two episodes are now available on Time's YouTube channel.

Time Studios will be releasing the remaining episodes of the
short-form series throughout the year. This comes ahead of the
250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence on July 4,
2026.

"This project is a glimpse at what thoughtful, creative,
artist-led use of AI can look like - not replacing craft, but
expanding what's possible and allowing storytellers to go places
they simply couldn't before," Time Studios' Ben Bitonti said in a
statement.

What do we know about Darren Aronofsky's AI TV show?
On This Day... 1776 was produced by Primordial Soup and Google
DeepMind. It is described as a "combination of traditional
filmmaking tools and emerging AI capabilities." In addition to
using AI technology, the Requiem for a Dream director also tapped
SAG actors to provide voice narration in telling each episode's
fact-based stories.

Each episode will center around a key historical moment from 1776.
The first installment follows George Washington in Somerville,
Mass, where he raised the Continental Union Flag to improve his
men's morale. As for its second episode, it features Benjamin
Franklin encouraging Thomas Paine to give voice to common sense.

The show is executive-produced by Aronofsky, Ari Handel, and Lucas
Sussman, with Jordan Dykstra providing the original score. Sussman
also led the historical drama's writers' room. According to their
statement, the project's goal is "reframing the Revolution not as
a foregone conclusion but as a fragile experiment shaped by those
who fought for it."
