Oscar Isaac and Ana de Armas are set to headline the new drama series Bananas, which has been acquired by Apple TV+ after a competitive bidding war, according to Deadline.
The series brings together Academy Award-nominated filmmaker David O. Russell as director and executive producer, alongside creator and writer Carolina Paiz, who will also serve as an executive producer. Both Oscar and Ana are not only starring in the series but are also taking on executive producer roles.
While specific plot details remain under wraps, sources suggest that the title, Bananas (which is subject to change), refers to the term “banana republics,” historically associated with politically and economically unstable nations, particularly in Central America. This hints at a potential focus on themes of power, instability, and intrigue.
The series marks Ana de Armas’ English-language television debut, further solidifying her status as a rising Hollywood star. Oscar Isaac, who continues to balance high-profile roles across TV and film, is also gearing up for the second season of a hit Netflix series.
Stay tuned for further updates on this high-profile collaboration and its anticipated release!
