As “consolation” she’s given Sunny, one of a new class of domestic robots made by her husband’s electronics company. Though at first, Suzie resents Sunny’s attempts to fill the void in her life, gradually they develop an unexpected friendship, as together they uncover the dark truth of what really happened to Suzie’s family, becoming dangerously enmeshed in a world Suzie never knew existed.”
Produced by A24, Sunny is written and executive produced by Robbins, through her shingle Babka Pictures. Tcherniak executive produces for Poppycock Pictures. A24 and Jones also serve as executive producers. The series is based on the book ‘Dark Manual’ by Japan-based award-winning Irish writer Colin O’Sullivan.
Sunny marks the second collaboration for Apple, A24 and Jones following the global premiere of Sofia Coppola’s acclaimed film On the Rocks. Jones also recently starred in Apple’s global hit series Silo, a series based on Hugh Howey’s New York Times best-selling trilogy of dystopian novels.
